Chrisman Runners Earn All-Conference Honors at Conference Meet
It was a big day for the Chrisman cross country teams at the Suburban White Conference meet at Osage Trail on Thursday.
A year after earning only five total medals and one All-Conference honoree, the Bears took the next step as they earned 10 medals and had four runners earn All-Conference honors. The top 20 in varsity medal with 1-7 earning First Team All-Conference and 8-14 earning Second Team.
Senior Caleb Michell, a two-time Second Team selection, finished fifth to finally reach First Team honors. Senior Chris Bunce, who had never run competitively or even under a six-minute mile six months ago, continued to find success as he finished sixth to earn First Team Honors. Junior Trey Dumas ran a personal best to finish 11th and earn Second Team honors. The boys finished fourth as a team.
For the girls, Freshman Lilly Conner-Urnise ran a season best 21:58 to finish eighth and earn Second Team All-Conference. Freshman Kayli Perez (17th) and sophomore Elizabeth Eppert (19th) also earned medals for the Lady Bears. The girls finished third by just one point. It was the third time they have finished third in the past four years.
The top 15 runners in each JV race received medals. Junior Nick Mendoza finished sixth for the boys. Freshman Hunter Taylor (eighth), sophomore Maureen Hennessy (11th) and sophomore Megan Bruch (15th) also won medals. JV girls finished third and JV boys finished fourth.
The Bears now prepare for Districts on October 22 and hope to send multiple runners to Sectionals the next weekend.
