Dogies sweep opening meet (
Sonja Karp
NLJ Sports Reporter
Excitement was high as the
2020 cross country season got
off to a great start last Friday
at the Newcastle Country
Club golf course. The Dogie
and Lady Dogie runners were
chomping at the bit to get off
the starting line and compete for
top honors in their first meet on
their home course.
While the ladies don’t have
enough runners to field a team,
the men do and both the varsity
and JV teams showed ofi‘ in
front of Dogie fans by winning
their respective races.
“1 was really excited to see
what the kids could do, espe-
cially because of what we’ve
been seeing from them so far
in practice,” head coach Kathy
Beehler began. “They are
working hard and are already
showing that race mentality that
is so important, and the guys
certainly proved that they are
starting out strong by winning
their races.”
Senior Zach Purviance was
the first Dogie to cross the
finish line, coming in second by
less than a second with a time
of 18:45.5. Carson Bock was
hot on his heels finishing third
in 18:48.7.
“Zach was catching the
leader at the end, but he just
waited too long to kick,”

Beehler described. “He still had
a lot of gas in the tank so that
was a good learning experience
for him which will benefit him
as the season progresses.”
Bridger Alishouse finished
seventh in 19:51.8, Avery Chick
was 13th with a time of 20:41 .4,
Mathew Drake came in 18th
in 22:05.5 and Max Makousky
rounded it out for the Dogies
finishing in let place with a
time of22:19.1.
“We’ll need to get a little
stronger, but it was a pretty
promising first time out com-
petitively, and they got some
things figured out,” Beehler
began. “They think they’re
hinting but they’re not really.
They still have a lot more left
than they even know.”
The junior varsity squad also
made a good impression as a
lot of newbies took the course
for the first time running a 5K.
Freshman Teegan Hatheway
won the race with room to spare,
outrunning the» second place
finisher by 30 seconds. Wyatt
Cole, Zander White, and Nathan
Strickland were the next guys
across the line for the Dogies
and all four of them are new to
high school cross country.
“Watching our new guys
run in the JV race was really
fun,” Beehler grinned. “They’re
showing great potential and are
giving our veterans some com-

petition for those seven varsity
spots.”
Unfortunately, the Lady
Dogies cannot compete as [a
team this season because they
are one runner short of the five
person requirement. However,
the four ladies still compet
individually. ”
Seniors Alaina Laurence and
Lara Lopez ran in the varsity
division and finished 17th and
18th respectively. Laurence
clocked in with a time of
29:06.2 while Lopez ended in
29:27.5.
Freshmen Janaya Ralls
and Tara Carter also finished
together in the JV race. Ralls
was third with a time of27:56.8
and Carter was just behind
in fourth place finishing in
27:57.5.
“That was exciting to see
those girls do so well because
it’s a big jump going from
eighth to ninth grade,” Beehler
pointed out. “A year ago, they
were running 2500 meters, so
they doubled that on Friday.”
The team will be headed to
Buffalo on Saturday, but the
start time is not yet known. Due
to COVID restrictions, meets
are limited to 112 runners so
many of the schools will host
two meets in one day —— one
in the morning and one in the
afiemoon — to try to accom—
modate the teams who are
attending.
