“The weather was fantastic and favorable for running,” said Fergus Falls Head Coach Derek Meyer.  “This meet is a quick turn-around in our meet and training schedule. It is not a lot of rest from our last race. Our team as a whole performed well and competitive but had no personal records broken.”

Luke Schroeder led the Otters with a ninth place finish (19:04.09).  Conrad Lobb placed twelfth (19:11.35) and Joe Eberle was fifteenth (19:31.38).  Rounding out the scoring for the Otter varsity were Mason Olson in 26th place (20:37.43), Kolsen Papon in 28th place (20:45.64), Zach Lobb in 36th place (21:25.45) and Oliver Thorson in 49th place (22:35.22).
