Trojans cross country

Senior Grant Odegard ran Buffalo Park’s 3-mile course in 17 minutes, 39.5 seconds to finish 26th Saturday at the Four Corners Invitational in Flagstaff, Arizona.

Pahrump Valley coach Erik Odegard said that while many Southern Nevada teams competed elsewhere, the Trojans, Arbor View, Moapa Valley and Liberty traveled to Arizona to run at more than 7,200 feet.

This year’s state championships will be in Northern Nevada, and running at altitude could help the Trojans down the road.

A total of 165 runners competed in the varsity race.

The Trojans finished 20th out of 25 teams in the event.

The Pahrump Valley girls struggled even more on the high-altitude course, finishing last among 16 schools. Sophomore Arianna Hamilton paced the Trojans, running 25:10.7 to finish 84th. The only other Trojan in the top 100 was senior Nrsringa Breathwaite at 97th in 26:06.9.

Also running for the Trojans were sophomore Hillary Valencia Vidales (26:51.0, 102nd), sophomore Beverly Roundy (27:42.5, 104th), sophomore Larisa Tarasova (28:26.3, 105th), sophomore Stephanie Frias-Esparza (31:48.8, 111th) and senior Shanniah Tripp (31:49.9, 112th).
