JOHN HAMILTON | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 7 months AGO
Western B-C runners will gather at River’s Bend Thursday for the 2025 divisional cross-country meet, in preparation for the State All-Class Meet in Missoula October 25 at the University of Montana golf course.
Thursday’s Wesern B-C race start times are as follows: the course walk-through is set for 11 a.m.; the junior high boys race is at noon; the junior high girls will race at 12:30 p.m.; the high school boys race begins at 1 p.m.; and the girls high school race is set for 1:45 p.m.
Thompson Falls coach Sarah Naegeli said that the junior high boys and girls races may be ran together with separate scoring if the numbers are low for those events, and that the combined race would start at 12:30 p.m.
The awards presentation, which will also be used to honor graduating seniors, will follow the girls varsity race, Naegeli added.
