Cross country runners from Hartley-Melvin-Sanborn achieved individual success and the Hawk boys were competitive as a team in two meets last week.

George Vargas finished just out of the Top 10 in the meet at Alta-Aurelia on Sept. 25. The senior placed 11th with a time of 18:22. Other results were Ryan Grotluschen 29th, 20:07; Aiden Bush, 36th, 20:30; Damian Dodge, 38th, 20:37; Blaine Finster 44th, 21:00; and Easton Teal, 60th, 22:46. There were 81 runners.

"Our boys finished sixth out of 13 teams, against some great competition and larger schools," Hawk coach Kirsten Taylor noted.
