Tiger highlights for this meet were few. Autumn Summers ran her best time on this course and finished with her best time of the season, the first under 30 minutes. Running for the JV Boys, Joel Courtney set another personal record by finishing under 22 minutes for the first time of his young career. On Varsity, Katelen Patterson and Seth Edwards both had their best times on this course. Freshman, Caleb Shepard, set another personal record on his first 5k race at Jesse James Park.
One thing in particular pointed out by Coach Brownsberger of Cameron was that the Varsity Boys stuck together from start to finish. It was the first time they had been so close together crossing the finish line, especially in a race of this magnitude with 195 runners. The first to cross, Noah Birkeness, placed 69th and the last Tiger to finish, Brent Shelor, placed 88th for a difference of only 19 spots. All five Varsity boys were under 20 minutes ranging from 19:18.0 to 19:37.0, a difference of a mere 19 seconds! Unfortunately, Shelor was the first runner not to receive a medal in the race.
Earning medals at the Kearney Invitational were Kylin Weaver (JV Girls), and Noah Birkeness, Seth Edwards, Caleb Shepard, and Logan Stock (Varsity Boys).
