REDFIELD - The Aberdeen Christian girls' cross country program started its season off with a fifth place finish while the Aberdeen Roncalli squads took strong steps forward in their second race of the season at the Redfield Invitational Thursday afternoon at Fisher Grove Country Club in Redfield.
The Knights put all three of their scorers in the top 25 of the girls' race led by Grace Steger in 18th place. Kathryn Steger finished in 22nd place, followed by Rachel Beaner in 25th.
Christian coach Livia Inches noted that it was a solid start to the season for her squad.
“The kids have been working really hard,” Inches said. “We’ve been doing little things like lifting and hip circuits and ab workouts. They’ve put in some really tough workouts, doing mile repeats on the hills (at Richmond).”
That work has translated into several personal bests across the board, including several junior varsity runners.
“They all did a really good job,” Inches said.
