\n\u201cI think the cooler weather helped,\u201d said Tyrone coach Tammy Snyder. \u201cI was very pleased with all the guys. Every one of them improved their time, and not just by a second or two, but by minutes. They all ran great races!\u201d
\nIn the girls race, BG dominated with the first four girls across the finish line, including Sonja Hinish who finished first in a time of 20:46. That time would have placed seventh in the boys race just 25 seconds out of fifth place.
\nRebecca Mogle led the Tyrone girls with a time of 24:12 finishing in sixth place overall, Angel Diehl 10th, Emily Ingle 11th and Adeena Harbst 17th.
\nThe Tyrone girls dropped matches to Bishop Guilfoyle 16-41 and Philipsburg-Osceola 23-36 down to just five girls with everybody\u2019s time counting on Tuesday.
\n\u201cOur girls are running consistent,\u201d said coach Snyder, \u201cwith one girl out because of illness. That really hurt us today. But Rebecca ran a very good race as did Angel, Emily and Adeena. This was Angel Diehl\u2019s and Michelle Long\u2019s last home meet (also Doug Brown and Trevor Harbst). We\u2019ll miss them next year. They are not only great kids, but also great athletes and it has been wonderful being able to coach them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
