Boydston excels on Saturday, reaching her PR.
The Ellis Railroader XC team crushed it at the Ness City Inv. today. 12 of our 15 runners hit personal-best times. Most of them improved by more than a minute. Medals didn't come easy at the large meet, with most area teams moving to Ness City because of Thursday's weather cancellations. Taryn and Shayden Boydston finished 1st, with Taryn beating the #2 runner in 1A and setting a personal-best time. Chevy Morton placed 6th while Cayson Boydston finished 15th. The high school boys team improved their team average time by 55 seconds, moving them up in the team regional seeding from 7th to 4th.
