Both teams had 7 runners make All-Conference as they all finished in the top 15 in their respective races.  For the girls’, Gracie Morris, Avalee Brown, Caidyn Breid, Mia Lung, Juliana Scraper, Leelou Novotny, and Kennedy Detloff earned All-Conference honors.  The boys’ All-Conference runners were Bjorn Anderson, Isaac Paurus, Dylan Guck, Carter Flatau, Brayden Glorvigen, Caden Doll, and Matt Jorgenson.

The boys’ team also had the JV individual winner with Nathan Rustad and the girls’ with Rory Kaldor.  Both JV boys’ and girls’ scored a perfect score of 15 in the team standings. 

Breckenridge Head Coach Larry Lasch commented, "Lucie Comstock, Kieara Wertzima, and Gracie Falk earned All-Conference honors.  In the field of 47 runners, Lucie, Kierra, and Gracie placed 8th, 11th, and 13th, respectively.   Gracie’s third mile split was 20 seconds faster than her second mile, which is very difficult when already running a fast pace.  Lucie and Kierra set themselves nicely in the first mile to place well.   Placing 19th was Jasmyn Benedict who ran one of best races of the season.  Addie King, Aubrey Bosen and Ashlyn Haire rounded out scoring for the Storm placing 22nd, 30th, and 34th, respectively.   The HOL was the last race for seniors Laney Mammenga and Joy Watson.   Laney has been with the cross-country program for six years and during that time brought a positive can-do attitude and set good examples for our younger runners.  Joy joined cross country for the first time this season.  She fully embraced the sport with a mindset that strove for personal improvement.”

Noah Berge finished 17th in the 53 runner boys’ division, narrowly missing all conference by two places.  “Noah set himself up well for a top 20 finish,” said Coach Lasch.  “Troy Berndt was not far behind in 23rd place.  Gabriel George and Harry Ochhart continue to improve placing 31st and 37th, respectively.”   Jaxon Hill, Ethan Lauritsen, and Charlie Ekren rounded out the varsity scoring finishing 37th, 46th, and 49th, respectively.
