Cumberland Cross Country Team Runs in Conference Tournament; Skinner Is All-Conference

The Cumberland Cross Country Team headed north last Tuesday as they joined the rest of the HON teams for the Conference Meet held at Mt. Telemark Village near Hayward. The results saw Cumberland sophomore Jovina Skinner earn first-team All-Conference honors by finishing 7th out of 85 runners in the girls’ portion of the event.

Team-wise, Cameron took home both the girls’ and boys’ team titles, with the Cumberland girls finishing 8th and the boys 7th. Next up for the Cumberland runners is the D3 Sectional in Bruce on Saturday, September 24.

Taking first place for the girls was senior Inez Schmidt of Cameron in 20:42, six seconds ahead of her sister Aggie, who finished second. Skinner, meanwhile, ran a 21:57, only three seconds behind 6th place. She has led the Cumberland girls all fall and has had an excellent sophomore campaign.

The next-best Cumberland time came from freshman Riley Muench, who finished 29th in 25:07. She has shown improvement throughout the season. Jasmine Delgado added a 28:10 and Ashley Yungco a 29:34 for Coach Rosenow.

The boys’ medalist was Oliver Gariepy of Unity, who ran a 16:45. Cumberland’s top finisher was fast-improving freshman Jack Odden, who placed 17th in 19:07. Junior Ben Dettinger added a 38th-place finish in 20:11 and Tyler Genatempo a 42nd in 20:29.
