COFFEYVILLE — Establishing dominance, the Chanute Blue Comets earned a team title while two racers claimed titles individually at the SEK League Cross Country Championships on Thursday.
Chanute’s boys won their fourth straight SEK League title, with Tucker Applegate, Jaron Powers, Easton Colborn and Tyler Rowden finishing first through fourth, respectively.
“It’s a really special group and I’m pretty spoiled as a coach right now,” Chanute head coach Brett Rinehart said. “These kids have bought into putting the work in during the summer. They were here every morning. I have to slow them down some days because they’re always running hard. I had to tell them to put easy miles in to let them recover. And it’s paid off. They’re so motivated and dedicated.”
