Zachary Petersen finished third in the freshman boys race to post the best finish for the Fernley
High School cross country team at the North Tahoe Madman Mills Motivational.
Because the races were broken down by grade, the Vaqueros didn’t have their full team in a
single race and didn’t score any team points.
With a time of 20.11 in the 2.8-mile race, Petersen finished third out of 30 runners in the
freshmen boys race. He was joined by Mason Varner, who finished 20th with a time of 25:39 and
Addison Davis, who came in 24th in 26:48.
The Vaqueros didn’t have a runner in the sophomore boys race.
In the 3.3-mile varsity boys race, Cael Wilson was the fastest Fernley finisher with a time of
22:50 in 23rd place. He was followed by Dominick Dietrich in 32nd place with a time of 23:34
and Alex Mergell in 42nd place with a time of 24:39. A total of 110 runners ran in the varsity
boys race.
The girls were divided into two races, and all four of Fernley’s runners competed in the
frosh/soph girls race.
Regan Scott led Fernley by finishing 18th in 28:08, Wynter Angus was 27th in 29:18, Grace
Schmidtlein finished 42nd in 33:12 and Reann Jones came in 48th in 41:20.
This week the Vaqueros are scheduled to compete in the 4th annual Run the Rubies Elko XC
Invitational at Lamoille Canyon, a 5,000-meter varsity race for both boys and girls.
