Bulldogs cross-country team places second at the Pflugerville Invitational
PFLUGERVILLE — Even the rain couldn’t slow down the Burnet High School boys cross-country team led by Joe Parker, who was second out of 54 runners in the boys division Sept. 14.
Kathryn Drake was fifth out of 47 runners in the girls division.
For years, head coach Stuart Dixon said, the Burnet High School runners were known as the “Dust Dawgs” because of “drought-ridden years.” With the recent heavy rains, Dixon changed the team name to the “Mud Dawgs.”
RESULTS: Boys — 2, Joe Parker, 17:31, 18, Nick Menchaca, 19:21, 19, Weston Ramos, 19:22, 20, Cody Cowan, 19:24, 35, Cole Lastly, 20:58, 37, Will Kyle, 21:14, 39, Jeremy Jordan, 21:21
Girls — 5, Kathryn Drake, 13:35, 17, Shaylah Hullum, 14:09, 24, Autumn Freasier, 14:45, 32, Hannah McCurry, 15:29, 38, Alyssa Box, 16:09
QUOTABLE: “The rain added to the spectacle that is cross country, and the runners really enjoyed the elements,” head coach Stuart Dixon said.
