Whitehall nets great times at Headwaters Invitational

The Whitehall High School and Junior High cross country teams shined at last Saturday’s Headwaters Invitational in Three Forks.

Head Coach Kerry Sacry said it was a great day for the Trojans and everyone beat their personal best by a minute.

“A flat course with no wind. Something we have not seen in a while,” he said.

In the boys varsity race, Dane Hoover and Hunter Coyle both had good races for Whitehall. Hoover was tenth with a time of 20:27 and Coyle was 14th finishing the race at 20:48.

In the girls varsity race, Madison Loomis and Katie Whitehurst tied for fourth with a time of 20:50. Macee Patritti finished the race at 23:42.

In the junior high girls race sixth grader Lexi Stratton had an amazing race finishing third with a time of 14:36.

On the boy’s side, sixth grader Noah Scheffel was fifth with a time of 13:09. Levi Whitehurst had a time of 14:48, K.T. Schuller finished at 15:10, and Sam Valov had a time of 15:15.

Whitehall will next compete October 10 at the Helena 7 on 7 meet.

Sacry said they are late in their season and the kids are getting stronger.

“The hard work is paying off,” he said.
