Plains xc excels at Eureka Invitational
It’s said that we remember many of the “firsts” in life: first day of school, first kiss, first car and first deer. If that’s the case, Plains High School’s Carter Montgomery will certainly remember last Friday’s Eureka Invitational Cross Country Meet. It was at that meet, held at Indian Springs Ranch Golf Course, when Montgomery scored his first high school cross country victory. Breaking free from the pack within the first quarter-mile, Montgomery had a 35 second lead by the mile and extended it from there. By the end of the three mile race, he had a 57 second margin of victory over teammate Kenneth Beech. According to head coach Tony Banovich, “we thought that this was going to be a good opportunity for Carter to get his first victory. So, our race plan called for him to get our hard, break from the pack as soon as possible; then, push the pace as best he could. He executed perfectly and had just a fantastic race.”
