On Tuesday, September 28, 2021, the Independence Mustang XC team traveled to Jesup to run a 5k. There was some very good competition but overall the Mustangs did pretty well. Leading the Mustangs was Junior Kale Wieland placing 115th running a time of 20:02.5. Following Wieland was Senior Robert Hansen with a 20:21.1 placing 123rd. On the girl’s side of the race, Senior Alyssa Larson ran a 23:03.0 placing 56th, and Freshman Reaghan Ressler running a 24:24.2 placing 92nd. Some of the Mustangs had some PRs at this meet, Senior Matthew Tudor ran a new best-of 20:38.4. Yoshito HiroHara also ran a personal best of 21:00.00. Congratulations to both of those athletes on PR’s. Also congratulations to the runners who ran at this meet. The Mustangs will run Thursday, September 30, 2021, at Western Dubuque.
