The LHS boys cross country team recently finished its season with races at state-level competition. Kobe Wessels, junior, led the Bengal pack, placing 57th at state. Before that, at district-level competition, Wessels also led LHS runners, placing 5th for boys. With two other Bengals in the top 10, this gave Lewiston boys a second-place win at districts. The Lewiston girls team didn’t qualify for state this year. In total, Bengals ran in six meets and placed in the top 10 in all but one.
