MHS cross country teams 7th, 8th at Iowa City

IOWA CITY, Iowa – Muscatine’s boys cross country team finished seventh out of 10 and the girls were eighth out of 11 at the Iowa City West Invitational held Tuesday at the University of Iowa course.

The Muskie boys were led by Jason Kenyon’s 14th-place finish in 17 minutes, 4.49 seconds. Muscatine finished with 146 points.

“It was a night of PRs (personal best) and intense running for the Muskies,” Muscatine boys coach Chris Foxen said. “Reid Chandler really stepped it up today – he ran under 18:00 to set a PR. I am really impressed with Reid’s work ethic during the race today.

“Other Muskies who set PRs were Kevin Hughes, who is only a freshman, Dalend Pearson, James Luth, Ryan Fick and the team leader all season, Jason Kenyon.”

Marshalltown won the team title with 45 points, and the individual champion was Iowa City West’s Frank Canady in 15:43.25.

Crossing the finish line first for coach Tim Armstrong’s girls squad was Lindsay Brunson in 27th place in 16:16.

“Lindsay Brunson’s all-time PR led the Muskies to their finish,” Armstrong said. “Season PRs were garnered by Megan Sweere, Dixie Cruz and Hannah Peck. All-time PRs were had by Rachel LoBianco, Sam Kistler and Staci Eversmeyer.”

Iowa City West won the team title with 28 points and Mahnee Watts of Bettendorf won the individual title in 15:00. The Muskies scored 216 points for their finish.

The next meet for both teams will be Saturday at Clinton.
