Three days after finishing ninth at Bonner Springs, the Tonganoxie High cross country squads fared a little better on their home course at the Tonganoxie Invitational on Tuesday.

The Chieftain girls finished third and the boys took fourth.

Cross country powerhouse Wamego dominated the Tonganoxie Invitational on Tuesday as the boys and girls teams won team titles and Breanna Briggs and Riley Woodward won individual crowns. Woodward set a new course record with his 5K time of 16:03.

As is usually the case, the Chieftains were led by Andie Jeannin and Matt Brock. Jeannin (eighth, 16:44) and Brock (17th, 17:53) both medaled, as did their THS teammates Lauren Hall, Alex Hauk, Addy Phelps, David Powell, Joel Dunning and Caleb Himpel.
