IPSWICH – Runners from Miller and Potter County won individual races and team championships during the Ipswich Invitational Cross Country Meet on Saturday.

Pierce Baumberger of Miller won the boys’ race with teammate Alex Schumacher second to help power the Rustlers to the team title. Aberdeen Roncalli was sixth.

Danika Kaup of Potter County won the girls’ race to help lead the Battlers to their team crown. Aberdeen Roncalli finished second, one point ahead of Ipswich.

“We had some really good competition,” said Roncalli coach Brady Lesnar. “Potter County, it was good to be able to compete against them. It was good for the girls to see some local competition that they’ll see down the road.”

Paige Schmidt finished third to lead the Cavaliers.

“She’s on a good pace for where we want her to be,” Lesnar said.

Sarah Schmidt was seventh for Roncalli.

The Cavaliers had eight girls among the top 23 runners.

“We had five girls PR,” Lesnar said. “That’s an encouraging thing to see.”

Roncalli’s top male finisher was Paul Gutenkauf who finished ninth.

Lesnar was pleased with his performance as well.

“One of the things I told him on his run was ‘surprise yourself’ and he did,” Lesnar said. “He’s doing the things he needs to do to get in a place where he can be competitive.”

The meet capped an interesting week for the Cavaliers. After not having a meet at all because of a couple of cancelations, Roncalli had two meets in three days.

“I’m really happy with how the team ran,” Lesnar said. “After a long week of homecoming activities and just tough workouts and another meet, I’m just really happy with how their Saturday ended.”
