Several Montague distance runners competed in the annual Distance
Night Under the Lights event Saturday night at Houseman Field in Grand
Rapids.
Each event saw well over 100 athletes competing, and some had even larger numbers.
Junior
Noah Raeth had the Wildcats' top finish in the showcase event, taking
39th place in a field of 354 competitors in the 1,600-meter run. Raeth
earned a personal best time of 4:31.6. In fact, all six Wildcats to run
in that race - Nolan Kessler, Alix Draves, Matthew Leatherman, Adam
Knopfler and Carson Jasick also competed - secured personal best times.
Among
girls runners, Grace Torsch had Montague's best finish, placing 93rd of
159 runners in the 1,600. She had a time of 6:07.7.
