Two L.V. Rogers runners — Rachel Mackenzie and Micah May — took home the top prize at the opening race of the West Kootenay High School Cross country running season Wednesday in Kaslo.
Mackenzie finished the River Run course in a time of 18 minutes, 43 seconds to capture the Senior Girls race.
Mackenzie edged Taylor Wilson of J.V. Humphries in Kaslo by just under a minute.
Third was Hailee Gerun of LVR.
Mia Ida of Trafalgar was fourth followed by Ellie Hewat of Kaslo.
May, meanwhile, led a strong LVR contingent to claim the Senior Boys race in a time of 18:57.
LVR boys took the top seven spots in the race.
The tour shifts to Rossland Wednesday (September 26) for the second stop of the season at the Blackjack Trails.
The Kootenay Kramp hosted by LVR is October 3.
The West Kootenay Championships will be held at Camp Busk Trails south of Nelson October 17.
The Kootenay championships follow the next week before the top runners travel to Prince George to compete in the provincials.
