HAYS — St. John’s A.J. Miller placed runner-up (17:48.8) in the junior-senior division at the Hays-Thomas More Prep cross country meet. Lakin (32) placed first followed by St. John (39) and Cimarron (57).

Larned’s Brayden Lothman placed fifth (18:13.13).

Other St. John junior-senior runners were 7th-place medalist Uriel Calleros (18:31.7) and 15th-place medalist Dylan Reed (20:24.5).

 “AJ and Uriel ran very well for the first meet. It was nice to see some of our younger guys earn medals,” said St. John coach Joel Delp. “ We need to come back and work hard on our conditioning. This group has potential, and they will be ready to work hard.”

In the girls junior-senior division, Larned’s Cierra Nord placed third (22;40.54) and Makayla Leiker finished eighth (25:15.51). 

Larned competes at Hesston Thursday. St. John competes at Wamego Saturday.
