With their defending state champ back on the grind the Gering girls cross country team picked up the team title at the B-4 meet in Ogallala on Thursday. Meanwhile the Gering boys team also qualified for state with a second place finish.

Running in just her second varsity race this year Gering’s Maddie Seiler out-classed the field to finish first with a winning time of 18:57.60, besting McCook’s Samantha Rodewald (19:04.18). Seiler suffered a foot injury over the summer but with this race behind her it looks like she’s primed to defend her title next Friday in Kearney.

Seiler will have her entire squad along with as Gering tries to make a run at the team title also. Shailee Patton of the Bulldogs also was a top performer yesterday finishing in third place.

In the boys race it was Lexington absolutely rolling to the team win with Gering second. The Bulldogs top finisher was Eli Marez in sixth place. Nathan Seiler and Bryce Carillo also notched top 15 individual runs.

Scottsbluff finished in fourth place in both the girls and boys races but still came away with some individual state qualifiers. Hans Bastron (7th place) and James Adams (10th) make it on the boys side and for the girls it was Kaylee Charbonneau (4th), and Hannah Rugroden (15th) earning a trip to Kearney.
