The MHS Cross Country team held their annual Half and Quarter Marathon in the early morning hours Saturday, June 28.  Run in conjunction with the Welsh Festival, local runners and a few extras were set to run the Dragon’s Half as the sun began to peek into the Malad Valley.

The 13.1 mile run began at the Malad Summit, followed Highway 191 as it wound past Devil’s Creek Reservoir, cut across the freeway, down Boot Lane into Malad to end at the Oneida County Library. The run featured a 1,300 ft decline, the elevation beginning at 5,800 ft and ending at 4,500 ft.  The Quarter Marathon runners took off from the starting line at 6:30 AM, beginning at the halfway mark for the Half Marathon.

Levi Angell took first place in the men’s division of the Half Marathon, coming in with a time of 1:19:48.  Aezlyn Summers placed first in the women’s division with a time of 1:36:33.  In the Quarter Marathon, Bostyn Burbidge led at the finish line, completing the 6.55 race in 39:14.  With a time of 49:22, Cassidy Shrenk placed first in the women’s division.   

The event was organized by XC Head Coach Tia Talbot, Bobbi Summers, and Shauna Nalder with the support of BC Timbers, Nontypical Excavation, Bammas, Malad MEdical Supply, and the Welsh Festival.  The Cross Country team would like to thank all those that supported their fundraiser as volunteers, sponsors, and runners!
