Braaten, McKean Lead Scotties at Billings Invitational

The Scottie cross country team was in Billings Aug. 31. With more than 300 varsity runners, it was likely the largest meet on the Scottie's schedule.

With the number of competitors at the meet, the overall finishes by Ike Braaten and Wilson Overby were definitely impressive. Braaten led the boys with his 11th-place finish in 17:05.65, and Overby was right behind him in 13th place and a time of 17:08.71.

For the girls, Iris McKean was the front-runner for the second week in a row. She finished 41st overall with a time of 21:43.12.
