Men's XC Individual Qualifies for Nationals

The KCC men's cross country team started their season a few runners short, but battled to a respectable 6th of 12 team finish. 2024 All-American sophomore Julian Borst (Loy Norrix HS) started where he left off last season, qualifying for Nationals!

Borst missed the podium by 2 places, finishing 12th of 77 runners. Borst's time was 30 seconds faster then his race last season on the same course. Sophomore Carson Lenzinger (Gull Lake HS) helped the Bruins with a respectable 30:49 8K time and finished 38th of 77 runners in the race. Other notable runs were Freshman Carter Stevens (Galesburg-Augusta HS) with a 40th place finish and a time of 30:59. Freshman Elliot Ormsby was also impressive with a finish time of 33:49.
