The NRHEG High School cross country teams competed in the Maple River Invitational Thursday, Sept. 11.

The boys, led by Tyler Schlaak and Josh Fleming, finished eighth among 10 schools while the girls, again led by Katharine Lewer, are still looking to put together a full five-runner squad.

Schlaak just missed his season best time, clocking 19:56 for 19th place, and Fleming was right behind in 21st with a time of 19:57. Following for NRHEG were Zach Mely, 40th, 20:58; Brenden McMann, 46h, 21:16; Ben Lewer, 48th, 21:40; and Aaron Seath, 61st, 25:03.

Seven turnovers lead to loss for football team

It’s doubtful that NRHEG football coach Dan Stork will install the run-and-shoot offense this season, but the Panthers shot themselves in the foot last Friday.

NRHEG committed seven turnovers — three fumbles and three interceptions — and lost the ball on a muffed punt while falling 14-8 at Lake Crystal/Wellcome Memorial.

“It’s hard to win when you give it back to them seven times,” said Stork, whose team saw its record slide to 1-1.

The NRHEG cross country teams traveled to the Montgomery Invitational for their second meet of the season Thursday, Sept. 4.

The boys finished 24th among 25 schools while the girls did not field a full squad.

Glencoe-Silver Lake won the boys’ division with 63 points. Waseca was second with 72. The Panthers had 683.

For the NRHEG boys: Tyler Schlaak, 84th, 19:54.6; Josh Fleming, 119th, 20:37.3; Brenden McMann, 151st, 22:31.2; Ben Lewer, 159th, 23:07.7; Aaron Seath, 170th, 26:23.4.
