     Seniors Haley Montgomery and Janel Passey, Wood River High School’s top female cross country runners this fall, clocked season-best times on a breezy day and moved up on the athletic.net listing of Gem State 4A female runners last Friday.

     At the Mountain Home Invitational prep meet for 172 varsity and 248 junior varsity runners, Montgomery (20:33) finished third overall and Passey (21:28) was a strong 12th of 76 girls on the Desert Canyon Golf Course challenge. They led the Wolverine girls into fifth place overall out of 12 varsity schools.

     Montgomery’s time is 12th best out of all 4A runners and Passey moved up to 31st. Friday’s winner, Skyview of Nampa senior Jocelyn Barber (20:06) has the eighth-fastest 4A time.

     Wood River coach Monte Brothwell said, “Both our girls’ and boys’ teams were short some of our top runners. Almost everyone who ran, had personal-best times.”

     Next up: Runners from 32 schools are due at the Dani Bates Invitational meet today, Wednesday, Oct. 2 at 2 p.m. along the Snake River at Canyon Springs Golf Course in Twin Falls.
