After both the boys and girls teams won last week’s season opening meet in Dayton, the Fernley High School cross country team is headed to compete in a meet in Fallon Tuesday.

Last Tuesday in Dayton, Myla Bott finished second for the girls team in 24:35, leading the Vaqueros to the win as a team.

For the boys, Dustin Boutell came in second with a time of 19:20 to head the group’s winning effort.

“All the kids ran really well,” coach Todd Wright said. “Just awesome to have a high school sporting event again after almost a whole year.”
