All five runners for the Colfax cross country team competed in the first meet of the season at the Bruce Invite August 29.
In a field of 79 individual girls, Kaysen Goodell took home a medal with a fourth place finish, clocking in at 21:48 for the 5K course. Hannah Peterson placed 23rd for the Vikings in 24:27 while Lauren Becker was 40th in 26:43. The race was won by Autumn Michalski of Chequamegon with a time of 19:04. Phillips was the team champion.
Charlie Charbonneau raced around the course in 19:46 for 12th place, just missing a medal, to lead the Colfax boys while teammate Logan Swartz was 63rd in 23:39. There were 115 individual competitors in the boys race which was won by Isaac Dickenson of Solon Springs with a time of 17:23. Just like the girls, Phillips also won the team championship.
“Right now we are focused on individual improvement,” coach Joe Doucette said. “Charlie was a lot faster than last year and Logan is starting to figure things out. He is developing a great work ethic and leadership skills. Kaysen had a great race in a strong field. Hannah is a great athlete and is going to have a great year and Lauren crushed her time from last year,” he added.
Colfax will compete this Thursday at the Somerset Invite.
