The Perham Yellowjacket boys’ and girls’ cross country teams both brought home the Heart O’ Lakes Conference championship on Tuesday at the Bois de Sioux Golf Course in a meet hosted by the Breckenridge/Wahpeton Storm. Perham Cross Country teams won all six races from junior high through varsity with Jakob McCleary and Gracie Morris each claiming individual varsity championships.
Boys’ All-Conference honors went to McCleary, Caden Doll, Micah Thompson, Bjorn Anderson and Carter Flatau.
Girls’ All- Conference honors went to Morris, Quincy Anderson, Leelou Novotny, Liz Birkeland, Avaalee Brown and Kaia Starzl.
The Perham Girls’ JV team had a perfect score and crowned Ella Hendrickson as the champion. Nora Rosenthal was the junior high champion.
“The girls won over a really good Hawley team by five points,” noted Coach Jeff Morris. “Gracie’s winning time of 19:18 was 18 seconds ahead of second place. Quincy continues to impress at the front, consistently breaking twenty minutes now. Leelou (20:08) was followed closely by Liz (20:09) who ran a season best time today. We were super impressed with Hawley today. They have a great team and they showed it. Our girls ran very well with a strong pack and putting six girls on the All-Conference team. We have some really important training to do the next two weeks, so it is back to work, but we are really excited for how the team is progressing.”
Morris continued with these comments on the boys’ race, “We won by 25 points over number 6 West Central Area and Jakob took home another HOL title, running the course in 15:55. Caden has established himself so well at the front of packs, running another personal best today of 16:47. Micah and Bjorn had times of 17:15 and 17:25, respectively, and Carter rounded out the top five with a huge race and a personal best time of 17:45. As coaches we were super excited about Carter, because from workouts you can just tell he was ready to make a jump and sure enough he did.”
Perham will head to Bemidji for their final race of the season on Monday and then on Friday, October 29th they will compete for the Section championship at Bagley.
