Anchorage high school runners get a break from the rain in season-opening cross country race

Nearly 200 runners from four Anchorage high schools opened the Cook Inlet Conference cross-country season Friday afternoon with a 3-kilometer race on somewhat muddy trails at Service High.

They got a break from the rain and enjoyed some sunshine, even though parts of the trail challenged them with mud and puddles.

Jared Gardiner of Dimond was the only runner to break 10 minutes. He finished in 9 minutes, 57 seconds to win the varsity/JV boys race.

Gardinier posted the fastest 3K time of the weekend. On Saturday, the CIC’s other four schools competed in a meet at Chugiak High, where no one broke the 10-minute mark.

At the Friday quad meet on the Service trails, Marley Ireland of East won the varsity/JV girls race in 12:10.

Nearly half of the runners at the meet had not yet met Anchorage School District eligibility requirements — which include participation in a minimum of 10 practices — so they competed in a division for ineligible runners. The two fastest girls time of the day came from that group — Robyn Miller of South (11:34) and Emily Erickson of Dimond (11:48).

At Saturday’s quad meet at Chugiak, victories went to Murphy Kimball of West and Campbell Peterson of Chugiak.

In the boys race, Kimball clocked 10:21 to beat teammate Ethan Eski by 12 seconds. In the girls race, Peterson finished in 11:52 for a 28-second win over teammate Skyler Belmear.

The meet drew 176 runners, including 66 who raced in a division for ineligible runners.
