The Cubs were scheduled to run in Girard last Thursday, but those events were postponed due to inclement weather. On Monday, Humboldt took to the course, but this time the heat played a factor in their performance.
Head coach Eric Carlson said despite the minuscule amount of airflow, the Cubs performed to their high expectations.
In the middle school two-mile races, McKenna Jones placed first (15:18) and Anna Heisler finished fourth (19:09) in the seventh-grade division. The seventh-grade boys also found success in Girard. Asher Hart placed fourth with a time of 15:20, and Jaryt Hess came in sixth running a time of 18:09.
The JV girls compete in a two-mile race, with Bri Barker placing 10th (18:36) and Camryn Bill coming in at 15th (20:56).
Humboldts varsity girls ran their way to a fourth place finish, Elizabeth Melendez led all Lady Cubs runners with a time of 27:19 and an 18th place finish. Rounding off the rest of the girls were Melina Hess (28:09), Leah Mueller (28:10), Zoey Wilson (29:03), Sarah Anderson (30:43), and Winter Snyder (34:16).
The varsity boys came in sixth as a team, with Drew Wilhite leading the way running a time of 19:58 and finishing 12th. After missing the Anderson County meet due to illness, Luke Yokum recovered nicely for a 16th-place finish running a time of 20:40. Also competing for the Cubs were Sam Neely (23:23), Thane Meadows (24:11), Javyn Hess (26:25), and Cooper Woods (27:05)
Humboldt will have a quick turnaround. They are scheduled to run Thursday in Wellsville.
