Sachs runners win
individual titles at Appleton
The Minnewaska cross country team does not have a lot of depth but the Lakers are proving to have some quality runners so far in the early season.
Madi Sachs won her second individual title of the season, winning in Appleton last Thursday with a time of 16:11 in the 4,000-meter course. That won the event by 16 seconds. Halle Christianson finished fifth in a time of 17:41. Britta Lundblad came in 15th with a time of 19:25, and Hayley Sachs was 19th with her time of 19:59.
Gage Sachs claimed his first individual title of his running career for the boys. He finished the 5,000-meter course in 18:25, finishing 27 seconds ahead of the second-place finisher.
“Madi and Gage Sachs ran great races for the Lakers, as they both led the field of runners from start to finish,” head coach Bob Mork said. “Both runners are very aggressive in their approach to running and combining that approach with their summer running, are off to great starts in the early season.”
