HOLSTEIN - The Estherville Lincoln Central Girls and Boys Cross Country teams both placed 15th at the Tim Thomas Classic in Holstein on Saturday.
Seventeen boys' teams finished with a team score and 16 girls' teams had enough for a team score.
"I felt like our runners were a little flat as most of their times were almost the same as last year," said ELC coach Connie Humble. "We have been improving each meet so far this year. We did have two runners who improved their time substantially. Jacob Jensen ran 43 seconds faster and Adrienne Rosjford ran 1:40 faster than last year."
Taylor Myers again led the ELC boys and had the top finish on the day. He placed 14th in 17 minutes, 21.55 seconds. Riley Theesfeld placed 85th in 20:24.43, Jensen placed 91st in 20:49.27, Izaak Sander placed 105th in 22:09.91, and Marcus Dykstra placed 117th in 24:04.13. There were 129 runners in the boys' race.
