Glasgow Scottie Boys And Girls Dominate Poplar Meet; Girls Enjoy Encore Win At Glendive
Glasgow High School girls' cross country team starts the race all together during the Poplar meet on Saturday, Aug. 31. The girls finished in first place, placing eight runners out of 11 in the top 15. On Tuesday, the girls captured another first and the boys a fourth at Glendive.
Both Glasgow cross country teams came back home from Poplar with first place after competing in the first meet of the season on Saturday, August 31.
As expected, the girls dominated the meet, finishing with 22 points and placing eight runners out of 11 in the top 15. Junior Josie Braaten was the fastest girl, running the three miles in 20 minutes and 33 seconds. Senior Rachael Zeiger took third place with a time of 21 minutes and 58 seconds.
Coach Rob Karst was pleased with the result. He liked all runners effort but still expect more from his runners.
“The girls did pretty good out there,” he said. “Our top runners were where they belong, but I know they can do better. Our five last runners need to work harder and push each other to close the gap. I am sure they have the talent to do it, and they will manage to do it with some practice,” he added.
The surprise came from the boys, who tied in first place with Culbertson/Bainville, probably the best or one of the best schools in the state. With 46 points overall, the boys placed half of their runners in the top 15. Walker Allen finished in fourth place, running in 19 minutes and 59 seconds. He was the fastest Scotties on Saturday. Covering the distance in 20 minutes and 46 seconds, Junior Bridger Sanders took eighth place, followed in ninth by Matthew Phillips in 21 minutes and 14 seconds.
“I was really pleased by the boys,” Karst said. “Matching up with Culbertson/Bainville is great and it shows to the kids that hard work pays off. We need to keep the energy up all season long. We are getting better every day, and I expect our last runners at this meet to, just like for the girls, close the gap and push themselves.”

Josie Braaten, first, 20:33
