Cross-country
The Homer and Kodiak cross-country teams split a dual meet last Saturday at Fort Abercrombie in Kodiak.
Homer did not have enough runners to field a full boys team, and Kodiak won the boys meet 15-0. Homer’s Clayton Beachy led his team by finishing third at 19:46, though he was an unattached runner because he did not have enough practices to compete, the Peninsula Clarion reported.
The Homer girls won their dual meet 17-41. They blocked out the top three spots in the girls race: Brooke Miller took first at 21 minutes, 42 seconds, Katia Holmes took second at 22:21 and Fiona Patton placed third at 22:34.
