By Allie Paulzine, Student Reporter The Murray County Central Warriors hosted their home meet on Tuesday, September, 24th. The Slayton golf course is notorious for the challenging hills, the harshest one named “Bertha”. All athletes competing last Tuesday persevered and made an effort to subdue those hills.
The boy’s varsity 5000m meter race was competitive once again. The Warrior boys won with 46 points. The Worthington boys were just one point behind them in second. Fanuel Wolday of Worthington once again took first place with another strong race. MCC/F’s Evan Bumgardner (17:17) led the team again, placing second behind Wolday.

Alex Betz (18:20) and Aiden Appel (18:26) then finished 10th and 11th for a third runner in the top ten for the Warriors. Caleb Appel was up next in 17th place in 19:05. Alex Keuny (20:13) and Tyler Reith (20:21) placed 24th and 26th. Zach Kirchner (20:37) wasn’t far behind in 30th.
