The Christ Our Rock Lutheran High School boys cross-country season comes to an end with a 9th place finish at the ihsa regional cross country meet at Benton. These boys ran their hearts out and finished only 7 points behind the number #8 spot. Five out of our six boys ran a personal-best time today. Zerek Koch ran 17:00 for the course narrowly missing going as an individual as they take the top 5 finishers not on a team advancing. His 29th overall place put him as the #6 individual not on a team advancing. We had 3 runners run under 18 mins and Thomas Taylor who was running 25, 26 minute races at the beginning of the season ran a 19:34 today.
