Tyler Tjeerdsma and John Fathke were two captains that attended State Cross Country. Tyler ran a 17:47 time and placed 22nd. John ran a 19:14 time and placed 63rd. Tyler has been running cross country for 6 years. He chose to go out for this sport because he enjoys running, and he is good at it. John has been running for 5 years, and some advice he would give to underclassmen to encourage them to go out is: “If you run Cross Country, you will be in better shape for the next sport’s season you participate in.”
