2018 Season Highlights
Eighth grader, Campbell Smith, is competing for Willow Creek this year. He has never run long distance before, so he is working on improving his times at each meet. He was recently joined by Jacob Delay and Three Veele.
Campbell has participated at three meets so far. At the Harrison meet in Pony, he averaged 8:48 per mile. His next meet was at the Butte meet held at Fairmont on the golf course, where he dropped his average time by one second. In his most recent meet, the Mountain West Classic in Missoula at the UM Golf course, he took off 50 seconds for an average of 7:57/mile!
Jacob ran his first race at the Mountain West Classic. There were 401 boys in the junior high race, but Jacob was not intimidated and averaged 8:27/mile. The race was 1.4 miles long for the junior high.
