Posted

JEFFERSON CITY — Between Belle’s and Vienna’s cross country teams, Eagle sophomore Caleb Horman was the last one standing Saturday afternoon during the Missouri State High School Activities Association (MSHSAA) Cross Country Championships at Jefferson City’s Oak Hills Golf Center.

Coached by David Martin, Horman was sitting in 26th place at the one-mile mark just outside of the top-25 and All-State honors.

At the second and third mile, Horman was 30th and ended up crossing the finish line in a 30th-place time of 18:44.68.

Horman was not the only runner representing the Gasconade Valley Conference (GVC) during the MSHSAA Cross Country Championships.

Steelville’s Cardinals had a pair of runners earn All-State accolades in the Class 2 Boy’s and Girl’s races.

Attending West Point next year, Lady Cardinal harrier Allie Gibbs capped her high school cross country career with a sixth-place finish in a time of 21:05.09. Cardinal sophomore Ty Merseal claimed one of the final spots in the top 25 placing 21st in a time of 17:57.99.

Viburnum’s best finisher in the Class 1 Boy’s race was senior Cameron Payne with an 86th-place time of 19:47.94.
