Warren’s cross country teams — led by first-place finishes by Morgan Alexander and Sam Lindell — swept visiting Seneca on Tuesday at Betts Park.

“We had a good showing today, coming away with wins for all squads,” said Warren coach Kevin Dustin. “We talked a lot about working on racing strategy during this race and the kids are starting to really figure out what’s working for them. We are really looking forward to senior night next Tuesday night and the end of this season’s races where we hope to be at our best.”

In a 26-31 win in the girls’ race, Alexander was first out of 23 in 20:44, and Hannah Pearson second just 12 seconds later. Teammate Cassidy Britton was fourth in 21:17, Emma Peterson seventh in 22:02 and Jahzara Hunter 12th in 23:02 to round out the scorers. Other Lady Dragons were Loralei Johnson (13th, 23:38), Leona Hovan (14th, 23:57), Riley Evan (16th, 24:27), Cayci Kramer (18th, 24:51), Kasey Kophazy (20th, 26:12) and Mara Dussia (22nd, 27:29).

For the Warren boys — 24-31 winners, Lindell cruised to a 16:51 first-place finish, winning by over a minute. Teammate Cam Williams was second in 17:55, Emre Morgan fifth in 18:52, Mike Bojaczko sixth in 19:00, and Gavin Heeter 10th in 19:42 for the scorers.

EMILY GROSCH,

MISTRETTA PLACE SECOND

Despite being swept by visiting North East at Eisenhower High School, the Knights had “quite a few of the kids running their fastest time on our home course,” said Ike coach Darlene Beach, whose Lady Knights dropped a 23-36 decision and boys lost 19-44.

“This was our fourth and final home meet of the season,” said Beach. “Emily Grosch and Kierra (Wismar) ran a strong second half of the race to take second and third. Izzy Grosch continues to improve each week.”

Emily Grosch finished in 23:26, Wismar in 23:45, and Izzy Grosch was eighth in 24:39.

Other Lady Knights in the field of 17 were Peyton Kellogg (11th, 25:13), Bryn Lindell (12th, 26:26), Callie Delp (13th, 27:23), Lilly Cathcart (14th, 27:40), and Cassidy Ferino (29:17).

In the boys’ race, Anan Vargus of Noth East and Eisenhower’s Joe Mistretta battled for first and second with Vargus winning by 13 seconds, 17:59 to 18:12. Ike’s Griffin Williams was 10th out of 19 in 20:08, Easton Fitzgerald 14th in 21:15, TJ McAuley 17th in 23:18, JE Unida 18th in 25:47, and Jonathan Bogniak 19th in 27:46.
