Lovell harriers run well in
Worland, look to postseason
BY DAVID PECK
With just two weeks
left before the regional
and state meets, the Lovell
Bulldog cross country team
is keeping their eye on the
big meets ahead and work-
ing hard to get into post-
season shape while not
wearing out legs in the
process, coach Caleb Sand-
ers said this week.
As such, Sanders has
decided not to send his high
school squad to the Bobcat
Invitational in Thermopo-
lis this Friday, taking only
the middle school runners.
“We looked at the
schedule and decided we
need to use this week as
a training week,” Sand-
ers said. “We need to get
in some miles and some
training. Sometimes if you
race too much it tricks your
body into thinking you’ve
peaked.”
Last week, Lovell at-
tended the 10-team Wor-
land Invitational on Thurs-
day, which gave coaches a
chance to enter some run-
ners in the junior varsity
division, others in varsi-
ty, even though there was
only one race each for high
school girls and boys, as
well as the middle school
races.
Senior Jacob Newman
ran well in Worland, mov-
ing up from about ninth
place at the one-mile mark
to place third with a strong
time of 17:29.91, about
42 seconds faster than
he ran three days earli-
er at the Rocky Mountain
Invitational.
Coaches named New-
man as the high school
runner of the week.
“Jacob steadily moved
up and over the last two
miles passed people and
cut the gap, which is the
way I like it,” Sanders
said. “You should be able
to move up. I know he felt
v better than he did in the
Rocky meet, and it was a
similar course. .
Chance Martello of
Worland passed Micah
Sweeney of Sheridan late
to win the race in 17:19.66,
and while Sweeney
(17:26.50) held off New-
man for second place, New-
man outsprinted Hunter
Graves of Cody (17:30.43)
to place third.
Sophomore Brent Sny-
der ran nearly the same
time that he ran at Fos-
ter Gulch and placed 18th
with a time of 18:46.90.
Further down in the pack
were Kyle Wolvington, 39th
at 20:22.90, Ben Cornia,
44th at 20:55.15, and Kyle
Burton, 48th at 28:10.34.
' “It wasn’t a standout
race for Brent, but I was
glad to see Kyle and Ben
inch closer to the 19-min-
ute mark,” Sanders said.
Sanders put his young-
er runners in the JV divi-
sion, and freshman Bren-
den Lundberg placed 215’t
with a time of 21:24.38,
almost five minutes fast—
er than he ran Monday
at Foster Gulch. Hunter
Steenbakkers plaeced 25th
at 21:43.31 and JR Dick-
son 62“d with a time of
30:19.94.
“It was nice to see
Brenden put in a bet-
ter race. I still believe he
can run faster,” Sanders
said. “Hunter stood out at
V
«moat:
the meet, to me. He keeps
making improvements and
moving up.”
GIRLS RACE
Senior Jaclyn Caldwell
had a tougher race Thurs-
day than at Foster Gulch
Monday and placed 10th
with a time of 21:41.28. He
said Caldwell actually felt
better Monday than she
did Thursday.
Afton George fin-
ished 43ml with a time of
27:05.91, Savannah Jol—
ley 47th at 27:36.50 and
Caitlyn Lundberg 53rd at
29:46.91.
Two Lady Bulldogs
competed in the JV divi-
sion. Sophomore Jessi—
ca Caldwell placed second
with a time of 23:09.91,
Megan Cornia 25th at
28:20.84.
“It wasn’t a good race
for Jackie Thursday,”
Sanders said, “but we’ll
take that (23:09) from Jes-
sica. Savannah had a pret-
ty good week, too.
“I monitored the race
and they all ran good times
the first mile, then faded
in the last two miles in the
heat. I thought Afton had a
good race.”
MIDDLE SCHOOL
Sanders said the mid-
dle school girls squad had
a strong meet at Worland.
“The middle school
girls continue to impress
me as a collective group,”
he said. “To have four girls
in the top 20, I like that.”
Lauren Mitchell placed
seventh with a time of
13:38.38, and Patti Sand-
ers placed 12th at 14:17.34,

14:37.72 and Maddisun
Steed 20th at 14:58.37.
“Lauren got off to a
faster start, and when she
does that she races better,”
Sanders said. “I was happy , i I
with Patti. She ran a nega—
tive split (second mile fast—
er than the first). Both of
them ran great. Maddisun
ran her best race and time
of the season.”
Coaches named Steed
as the middle school run-
ner of the week.
Sariah Hendershot fin—
ished 38th with a time of
16:09.97, Brooklyn Walk—
er 48th at 17:56.18, Addie
Dickson 56th at 19:38.78

at 20:36.62.
James Caldwell was
once again the top finish-
er for the LMS boys, plac—
ing fifth with a time of
11:40.28. Caldwell has
good endurance and is
“still running hard and
strong,” Sanders said, add-
ing, “I don’t remember this
many runners running in
the 11s in this meet.”
Jacob Mangus placed
40th with a time of 17:54.84,
Kincaid Dickson 45th at
20:08.94 and Gabe Helm
