BOYS RESULTS
Mill Creek boys’ varsity coach Andy Christie said he expected a tough match against Marist, the top ranked team in AAAA.
“I was happy with our overall performance,” he said. “It was mostly just a chance for us to start the season in a low key meet.”
Marist won by a score of 21-39. Top five runners for Mill Creek were Austin Boetje (18:17), Steven Zwick (18:45), Tim Heffner (18:53), Andres Tostes (18:57) and Brandon Gaunt (19:07).
Christie said the Berry Invitational on Saturday would be the first real test for his team.
“It will tell us where we stand compared to other state and region teams,” he said.
