Carson girls second, boys third at Reed

Christy Works, Kristin Dockery and freshman Yvonne Hollett ran stride for stride with each other and combined to help the Carson High girls cross country team capture second-place Friday afternoon at the Reed Invitational in Sparks.

Works placed ninth, Dockery 10th and Hollett 11th - all with identical times of 22 minutes, 40 seconds over Reed's 3.1-mile course - and the Senators wound up second as a team behind perennial Northern 4A power Reno.

Reno swept the top four places to finish with 16 points, while Carson outdistanced Galena by a 68-85 margin to take second.

Meagan Meyer finished 18th in 23:37 and Jenny Mital was 23rd in 24:00 to round out the scoring for Carson. Gloria Sosa ran 24:15 to finish 25th and Hannah Riedl 24:46 to finish 24:46.

Meanwhile, Carson finished third in the boys competition paced by its brother combo of Chad and Richard Shroy.

Chad Shroy, a senior, placed third as he ran 17:35 over a 5K course that included a climb over challenging Shadow Mountain. Richard Shroy, a freshman, wasn't far behind as he finished ninth in 18:12. Reno's John Lawrence won the race in 17:24, followed across the finish line by Galena's Bryan Tibaduiza in 17:30.

Reno cruised to the team title with 32 points, ahead of Galena with 63 points and Carson with 87.

Caleb Carter finished 25th for Carson with a time of 19:23, freshman Nick Schlager was 28th in 19:30 and Ethan Graber was 31st in 19:51 to complete the team scoring. Andrew Stevenson ran 20:40 to finish 46th and Jared Mondragon ran 20:56 to finish 50th for the Senators.

The Senators compete again Wednesday at a Sierra League meet at North Valleys.
