On Saturday, the Cross Country team headed down to Haskell Indian University in Lawrence, Kansas for their regional meet, the last before state. A disappointing end for the girls’ season came after missing their chance to qualify for state. On the upside, the boys’ race was a photo-finish thriller. Senior Lance Meng placed first for East with a time of 16:31:33 and junior John Arnspiger was beat by less than a thousandth of a second by Brock Mitchell of SMS. Arnspiger and the boys’ team were named Runner-Up Regional Champions losing by only one point to the Shawnee Mission North Indians. The State Championship will be held at Rim Rock Farm in Lawrence, Kansas this Saturday.
