GRAND RAPIDS — Liam Zins placed fifth with a time of 17:44.1 to help the Pequot Lakes boys to a sixth-place finish at the Paul Bauer Invitational in Grand Rapids on Tuesday, Sept. 16.
Pequot Lakes' James Johnson added a 15th-place finish.
Kyra Rohrbach earned a fourth-place finish for the Pequot Lakes girls with her time of 20:53.6.
The girls didn't have enough runners to field a team.
"The weather was warm and it was a new and challenging course for our team," Coach Jeff Brever said. "As a team, we went into the meet to accomplish certain goals throughout the race. For the most part, every athlete hit most of their goals."
Brever said it was a learning experience for the team on how they need to run and compete as a team and individually.
