The Logan boys cross-country team finished a respectable eighth of 15 teams Saturday at the Los Lunas Invitational.
Nearly all of the teams the Longhorns, in their inaugural season, competed against were schools with much higher enrollments.
Logan finished with 240 team points. Organ Mountain won the team title with 24 points, while host team Los Lunas was runner-up with 71 points. Taos finished third with 76 points.
Kale Griffiths was Logan’s top runner, finishing 46th in 20 minutes, 21.34 seconds on the 5,000-meter course at the Los Lunas High School track.
The rest of the Longhorns, all tightly bunched, were Connor Moore (47th, 20:40.46), Bill DeLuca (48th, 20.40.80), Mason Barnhart (52nd, 21:16.60), Mitchell Wall (56th, 21:28.41), Devin Kotara (59th, 21:33.11) and Christopher Lucero (68th, 21:51.69).
Corbin Coombs of Organ Mountain was the individual winner, finishing in 15:43.92, just 15 seconds ahead of teammate and runner-up finisher Jaron Wisner.
In the girls race, Lilly Nials was the top finisher for Logan, finishing 58th in 26:00.29.
Other Lady Longhorns in the race were Kyle Terry (72nd, 27:35.06) and Bailey Salvador-Jones (75th, 28.45.02). Logan didn’t have enough runners for a full girls team.
Carmen Dorsey-Spitz of Moriarty won the girls race in 18:58.31, most than a minute faster than the runner-up.
Los Alamos won the girls team title with 70 points.
