The Cassville cross country program hosted its annual Pink Out Invitational on Oct. 8 at the Cassville Aquatic Center Park, with 28 total schools participating in the high school and middle school divisions.

The Wildcats ran to fourth place in the high school boys division, just behind Lamar for third. Carl Junction won the event, with McDonald County taking second.

The Lady Wildcats had four runners finish, meaning they did not qualify for a team placement.

At the middle school level, Cassville shined in the boys and girls races. Led by Dade Zajac,

Jaxen Anderson and Nathan Lyons taking fourth, fifth and sixth, respectively, the Wildcats as a team took top honors in the middle school division in a field of 10 teams.

The Lady Wildcats middle school runners took second place as a team, falling 10 points behind Monett.

“We had a great turnout, and our runners ran great,” said Erin Flehmer, Cassville XC assistant coach.
