But there was still a race to be run \u2013 amid the music, glow sticks and glow necklaces \u2013 and the Panthers ran well.<\/p>\n
Sophomore Reid Littlefield and junior Josh Ramos led the boys\u2019 team and finished neck-and-neck, with Littlefield coming in 25th (19:05) and Ramos 26th (19:08).<\/p>\n
They were followed by Sonny Boren in 45th (20:28), Brenden Quinonez in 64th (22:51) and Ben Castillo-Calvillo in 66th (22:56).<\/p>\n
Head coach Paul Koops was happy with the boys\u2019 performances and noted that it was Ramos\u2019 first cross-country race and that Boren had been battling illness for the previous few weeks.<\/p>\n
The girls were led by sophomore Emma Thissen in 37th place (25:03), with Regina Schuster (25:55) and Corinne Damore (26:26) close behind in 41st and 45th.<\/p>\n
Rachel Zetts (26:36) and Judy Ha (28:43) rounded out the girls\u2019 team in 47th and 56th.<\/p>\n
Koops said that a highlight of the event was that it was the first time this season that M-CHS was able to field full teams for both the boys\u2019 and girls\u2019 race.<\/p>\n
He also said it was a privilege to watch elite teams like Durango and Alamosa, the two schools that claimed the first eight places in the boys\u2019 race.<\/p>\n
