From Coach Riggs –

MSWAC XC Oct. 9, 2021 article for SRMS

The morning was dark with 9 Apaches silhouetted on the bus. Warm breakfast

burritos and muffins with fruit greeted the Apache Cross Country Athletes.

The Apaches knew this was their last meet in Hays.

The rigorous course and beautiful October sunrise greeted the two teams

from Liberal, Kansas. The 7th grade girls ran first at 10 am with the

raucous shot of the pistol. Alea Diaz <[email protected]> PRed

with a time of 10:23 coming in 27th place. Jessica Pando turned in a time

of 9:07 and placed 24th. Yvanna Rivera <[email protected]> led

the pack with a time of 8:35 and placed 22nd. These lady Apaches have

constantly improved and have kept the team’s spirits up.

The 7th grade Apache braves were up next. Again the starter’s pistol

belched fire and the teams were off running. Marcos Rivas placed 36th and

turned a time of 7:41. Marcos was 11 seconds shy of another PR.

Cain Ortiz <[email protected]> has continued to improve at every

meet this season and the MSWAC XC was no exception. Cain Ortiz

<[email protected]> placed 32nd and turned a PR of 7:15 on the

mile course.

The 8th grade lady Apaches were represented again by Gennesis Leyva.

Genesis Leyva has shown growth all season. This Apache has shaved 4

minutes off her first cross country meet and ran exceptionally well at Hays.

The 8th grade Apache braves gave it their all in typical fashion. Joshua

Talley <[email protected]> and Zahir Ortiz Acosta

<[email protected]> ran together last year and have continued

to represent Seymour Rogers Middle School this year.

Joshua Talley <[email protected]> placed 29th and turned in a

time of 17:41. Zahir Ortiz placed a respectable 12th spot with a time of

13:17.

As the sun sets on another SRMS cross country season, Coach Lobmeyer and

Coach Riggs would like to thank the staff, the parents, and especially the

athletes for another year of making students into better runners. It’s a

great day to be an Apache!
