FRISCO \u2014 The Summit High School cross-country team continued its strong start to the 2019 season Saturday in Littleton, with the boys team finishing in third place in the 24-team Division 2 competition.<\/p>\n

The Tigers were led on the day by their super senior duo of Max Bonenberger and Jeremiah Vaille. In the 165-athlete race, Bonenberger ran to his fastest 5,000-meter time: 16 minutes and 5.9 seconds. The time, 36 seconds off the winning pace of Evergreen senior Colin Szuch (15:29.4), earned the Tigers two points in the boys team competition.<\/p>\n

In Colorado high school cross-country competitions, five runners contribute to each team\u2019s varsity score, and the lower the score, the better. Each first-place finisher earns one point and so on.<\/p>\n

Right behind Bonenberger, Vaille\u2019s personal-record time of 16:09.60 earned the Tigers three points. Vaille and Bonenberger\u2019s fellow senior veterans Paul Hans and Sam Wescott also posted career-best days, with Hans completing the course in 17:17.60 in 30th place and Wescott crossing the finish line in 17:18.50 in 33rd place.<\/p>\n

Summit\u2019s varsity scoring on the boys side was rounded out by freshman Zach McBride setting his own personal-record 5,000-meter time. McBride\u2019s time of 17:30.90 slotted him into a 41st place finish, earning the Tigers a team total of 109 points, just six points behind runner-up University High School (103 points). Cheyenne Central High School won the Division 2 boys meet with a score of 95 points.<\/p>\n

Just outside of Summit\u2019s boys varsity scoring slots, freshman Dom Remeikis continued his elite start to the season for a freshman, crossing the finish line in 17:48.90, in 57th place.<\/p>\n

The Tiger boys also saw personal-record 5,000-meter times for the seventh-fastest boys runner on the day: Junior Korben Long bested his previous top time by finishing the race in 18:17.40.<\/p>\n

The Tigers finished ahead of familiar High Country rivals Steamboat Springs (10th place, 273), Eagle Valley (13th place, 379) and Glenwood Springs (16th place, 455).<\/p>\n

In the Division 2 girls competition, Summit was led by another podium finisher in senior veteran Grace Staberg. She was the top senior runner in the 153 athlete Division 2 girls race, completing the 5,000-meter course in 18:48.50 for sixth place. The girls race was won by sophomore Ella Johnson of Glenwood Springs, who was just 33 seconds faster in 18:15.30. Staberg\u2019s performance at the Liberty Bell on Saturday was the fourth fastest 5,000-meter cross-country time run by a Summit High School girls runner.<\/p>\n

The Tigers girls earned 314 points and 12th place finish in the girls race thanks to Staberg and top five varsity finishers junior Alice Wescott (46th place, 21:24.40), freshman Logan Reid (82nd place, 22:19.20), freshman Paige Wescott (90th place, 22:45.80) and sophomore Aubree Confer (94th place, 22:52.00).<\/p>\n

The Tigers will seek to continue the top finishes when they take on High Country rivals Saturday at the Eagle Valley Invitational in Gypsum.<\/p>\n
