Hannah Kaiser and Zachary Sever qualified as individuals for the state cross country meet at the 4A Northern Regional meet Saturday.
Kaiser and Sever took seventh place in their respective races to get a chance to run at Rancho San Rafael Park in Reno for the third weekend in a row.
“I’m so honored to be able to compete at state again. I was lucky enough to go last year and I am so excited to be able to represent Northern Nevada again as a senior,” said Kaiser. “I didn’t start running until I was a junior, but it’s been one of the most formative experiences of my high school career.”
As teams, the Carson girls finished in fifth with 118 team points, missing the top-three mark to qualify as a unit for state. The Senator boys were seventh with 174 points.

Hansen said his goal is to win a state title, but enjoy the meet as well after finishing second last year.
“Just to win and have fun,” said Hansen of his goals Saturday. “I’m not looking for any specific time.”

“Incredible. Super proud of them,” said Falcon head coach Billy McHenry. “Ava (Zimmerman) super overachieved and Kailey Fitzpatrick was 10th. Just a great day. They overcame their rookie cross country coach.”
