The Panorama Panthers girls and boys cross country teams headed to Madrid last week to take part in a junior varsity/varsity invitational and came away with good results.

As both the boys and girls cross country teams are off and running so far this season and competed in a meet last week in Madrid. The Panthers weren’t able to have enough runners on the course to score as a team but one runner took a top five spot at the meet.

For the girls side runner Mary Fett was able to get a phenomenal finish where she came in fourth place with a time of 22:03 more than 15 seconds faster than the fifth place finisher. This was also a seven spot improvement from her previous race where she came in 12th as Fett continues to place well this season.

Rounding out the Panthers girls cross country team was Avery Bahrenfuss who came in 35th place for the Panthers at the Madrid meet with a time of 28:23 which was nearly a minute faster than her first meet this season as she continues to improve on her time.

On the boys side there were two runners with Gryffin Burchfield coming in 59th place with a time of 24:33 which was two minutes faster than his first time out this season while fellow runner Zach Hayden came in 60th place with a time of 24:37 shaving more than three minutes off of his final time compared to his first meet this season.

The Panthers girls and boys cross country teams are continuing to find their strides out on the course this year and will have another chance this week to post solid times as they will have another junior varsity/ varsity invitational this Thursday beginning at 5 p.m. as the Panthers will head to Colfax-Mingo High School in Colfax.
