WELLSVILLE — Crest High’s sophomore sensations Josie Walter and Peyton Schmidt made their marks once again on the cross country circuit.
The Lady Lancers each secured top-10 finishes at Thursday’s Wellsville Invitational against a loaded field of competitors from significantly larger schools.
Walter nabbed third in the girls 5K, finishing in 20 minutes, 47.46 seconds. Schmidt took 10th overall at 22:48.94.
Crest’s Aubrey Allen took 23rd, finishing in 23:45, while Kaylee Allen finished in 51st at 26:26.03.
Marmaton Valley and Yates Center runners also were a part of the action.
Yates Center’s Jaylynn Birk took fifth and Marmaton Valley’s Sophia Heim eighth in the girls junior varsity race. Marmaton Valley’s Emma Louk took home second in the girls middle school race.
Full results follow. Of note, the girls and boys JV race times were unavailable due to a technical glitch.
