Junior Beth Pearson ran through the finish line with a time of 23:02 to earn a 10th place medal and the top finish among Tyrone varsity runners.
Eighth-grade runner Caleb Miller flew through the course to take 4th place in the Junior High division.
Senior Adam Detwiler was just three places off of receiving a medal, finishing 18th with a time of 18:33.
“I felt like placing top 20 at Big Valley was a great start to my senior year and a great milestone I wanted to accomplish,” said Detwiler.
With such great results from all the runners at such a big meet so early in the year, Tyrone is sure a force to be reckoned with. Tyrone Cross Country will continue to compete strongly in the upcoming meets.
