Teams from the three Linn County school districts competed in the Prairie View High School Ramsey Invitational cross country meet on Thursday, Sept. 21.


Even without its fastest runner, the Prairie View girls team took first place in the varsity event. And while the seven Lady Buffalo runners ran well, a first-place finish was a foregone conclusion because none of the other four other teams had enough runners for a team score.


Prairie View freshman Laramie Stevens turned in a first-place finish on the 5,000-meter course with a time of 22:36.12 followed by her teammate, junior Wylie Teagarden with a second-place time of 23:03.20.

Members of Prairie View's winning girls team include, from left, Kelsie Konitzer, Wylie Teagarden, Laramie Stevens, Cheyanne Moss, Kayla Gorostiza, and (not pictured) Ryleigh Lueker and Kally Stroup.


The Buffalo’s Bree Allen did not race at the school’s home meet because she was scheduled to run at the Rim Rock Classic in Lawrence on Saturday.


Other finishers for Prairie View included Cheyanne Moss, eighth place; Kelsie Konitzer, 10th; Ryleigh Lueker, 12th; Kally Stroup, 14th; and Kayla Gorostiza, 16th.


Two competitors from Jayhawk-Linn also ran in the girls varsity race. Brylee Doleshal placed ninth with a time of 25:17.37, and Adison Randall placed 18th.


In the boys varsity race, Jayhawk runner Dillon Champlin placed third with a time of 19:15.32. Champlin’s teammate Simon Shillito turned in a ninth-place finish and Louis Shillito placed 14th.

Jayhawk's Brylee Doleshal keeps her pace about 3,000 meters into the race.


Prairie View’s Mason Mitzner was the top finisher for the Buffalo with a time of 20:41.39 for 15th place. His teammate Matthew Stolle finished 18th.

For the Pleasanton Blu-Jays, DJ Meik placed 19th with a time of 20:58.50.

Prairie View's Matthew Stolle and Pleasanton's DJ Meik grind out the final 100 meters of the course.
