225 runners
try
Gun Club course
At the WR
Invitational
The Sun
Valley Gun Club was the place to be Wednesday, Sept. 11 for 225 high
school runners from 12 different schools. And it was a beautiful day for
the 2002 Wood River Invitational cross country meet.
"We
would like to thank Sun Valley Company for providing such an awesome
venue," Wood River High School cross country coach James Foster
said. "From one spot you could see 85 percent of the race."
The
Wolverines had 27 of the runners and they did well, the best placings
coming from junior Alex Hamlin (11th overall) in the 62-runner boys’
varsity race and freshman Rachael Richards (8th) in the 72-runner girls’
event over 3.1 miles.
Fastest
runners were Hansen senior Cody Fowers (5th at State 2A in 2001), who
won by 26 seconds, and Gooding senior April Homan (12th at State 3A in
2001), who prevailed by 16 seconds over Jerome freshman Sara Traughber
in the girls’ race.
Other
runners came from Twin Falls, Ririe, Declo, Oakley, Valley, Kimberly,
Richfield and Shoshone. Here are top Gun Club results and Wood River’s
