PEORIA – The Amboy-LaMoille cross country runners concluded the regular season by competing in the Patriot Invitational on Oct. 13 at Detweiller Park in Peoria. There were 50 teams in attendance.
In the varsity girls’ race, Margaret Vaessen turned in a 26th-place performance for the Lady Clippers with a time of 19:33. Next in for A-L was Kaitlyn Ortgiesen in 73rdplace with a time of 21:05. Kelynn Boyle (129th, 22:24) and Bailey Bickett (206th, 25:25) also completed for the Lady Clippers.
Tom Stamberger was the lone A-L runner in the varsity boys’ race and he finished 38thin a time of 16:28.
Five Clipper boys participated in the junior varsity event. Brock Loftus was the first A-L runner to cross the finish line in sixth place overall with a time of 17:02. Ian Eller (17:43) and Mateo Ramis (17:45) took 15thand 16thplace, respectively, while Calvin Deering (37th, 19:05) and Andruw Jones (66th, 20:25) also raced.
“We had strong efforts by everyone,” said A-L coach Bob Halberg. “Had they scored team points in the JV race, we would have placed fourth, which is great for a meet of this size.”
A-L harriers will compete in the Rock Falls Class 1A Regional Cross Country Meet on Saturday, Oct. 20 at Centennial Park. Start time is 10 a.m. for the girls and 10:45 a.m. for the boys.
