Schabron has LHS cross country program moving in right direction

Just as Laramie head cross country coach Greg Schabron had hoped, his Plainsmen made a nice run (pun intended) at the state title Saturday in Sheridan.

When the dust settled, the Plainsmen came up a little short in their quest for the title, finishing third, but just five points from the top spot.

Gillette won the title with 80 points, followed by Rock Springs at 83 and Laramie at 85.

Individually, sophomore Austin Reitsma earned all-state honors with his fifth place finish in 17 minutes, 6:49 seconds.

The Laramie girls also moved up one spot from last year’s finish when they finished in eighth place.

Maddie Byra was the top runner for the Lady Plainsmen in 25th place.

It proved to be a good and encouraging start for Schabron, who took over for Emily Williams this season. Like any first-year head coach, it takes some time for a program to build the way a coach envisions. Last week the Plainsmen won their first regional title in about 14 years.

Schabron, a former Plainsmen and UW runner, is off to a nice start. Look for more good things in the future.
