Clear Lake competes in home meet

The Clear Lake Lions hosted a cross country meet Thursday, Sept. 13, at the Baptist Camp in Ventura.  The Lion boys finished second in the 11-team field, while the girls team, which was without a couple of its regular varsity runners, was seventh.

Five members of the Lions boys team placed in the top 20 overall and three runners significantly cut their times.  “Alex Enabnit and Ryan Faught shaved over 30 seconds off their season best 18:15 and 18:30 respectively,” reported Coach Nick DiMarco.  “M.J. Mixdorf cut over one minute off his season best.”

Enabnit and Faught placed 15th and 16th, while Mixdorf was 38th.

Jake Iverson and Antonio DiMarco led the Clear Lake team, placing fifth and sixth respectively in 17:32 mad 17:36.  Alex Blum rounded out the Lion scoring, placing 20th in 18:41.  Also running in the varsity race was Spencer Orr, who finished 43rd in 19:53.
