Blackhawks shaving time

MISSOULA – The Seeley-Swan High School Cross County team took to the course at Big Sky for the Missoula Coaches Invite, Sept. 5 with 10 other teams. All the racers cut at least two minutes off their time from the Deer Lodge meet.

Each field was organized by grade instead of split by boys and girls. Sophomores Hannah Ayers and Chase Haines ran together for the entire sophomore/junior race before Haines outkicked Ayers at the end.

Haines finished 55 of 94 boys in 22:25.55 posting a 7:14 mile time. He beat Hot Springs' Kawika Ilac who finished less than a half a second behind him.

Ayers was right...
