Card Records Fall In BC Cross Country Invite

September 30, 2009

Carder, Weeder stride for stride

Friday was a great day for running and competitors in the Boone Central Individual Invitational cross country meet took full advantage.
Leading the way was Cardinal senior Kevin Carder, who broke the all-time Albion/Boone Central record in the boys 5,000-meter race. A pair of remarkable Card freshmen also established school marks - Cassidy Pribnow equaling the Boone Central girls record and Calvin Koziol setting a new boys frosh standard.
Along with local runners, Holy Family soph Andrea Weeder, the defending Class D state champion, broke the course record over the Albion Country Club layout and senior Kevin Weeder, also a defending state champ, won a scintillating duel with Carder to claim top spot in the boys senior division.
