PLATTEVILLE — Participating in last Saturday’s Dick McKichan Invite, the Lancaster girls’ cross country team placed first of nine small school teams, while the boys came in third of 12 competing teams.

Both squads have put together rather impressive seasons thus far, as the Lancaster ladies continue to be the team everyone else is chasing.

With a team score of 55, the Lancaster girls finished well ahead of second-place Albany, who finished with a score of 72. Darlington was third at 99, while Prairie du Chien was fifth at 141.

Leading Lancaster was freshman Lydia Murphy, whose time of 19:31 earned her second place among the small school runners.

Sophomore teammate Maddie Hampton placed ninth with a time of 21:49, while senior Brianna Hampton was 13th (21:58), freshman Crystalyn Mish 14th (22:12) and senior Nicole Wolf 17th (22:17).

For the Lancaster boys, 70 total points earned them third-place honors, while Darlington won the team title with 37 points, followed by Albany with 65.

Junior Jonathon Murphy led the Lancaster charge with a fourth-place finish and a time of 17:29.

Senior teammate Josh Schwantes came in 12th with a time of 18:10, while sophomore Hunter Liddell was 13th (18:16), senior Jordan Jerrett 16th (18:27) and junior Harrison Stone 25th (18:56).

Following this past Tuesday night’s meet at Boscobel, the Flying Arrows will next be at Richland Center next Thursday evening.
