Middle school runners do well at Newton By The News staff Last Updated: October 11, 2018 Valley Center Middle School cross country teams competed at Newton's Centennial Park Oct. 2. The length of each race was increased for this meet. The seventh-graders ran 1.5 miles (normally one), while the eighth-graders ran two miles (normally 1.5). "This will give the kids a taste of what it is going to be like in high school as they transition to the 5K distance," coach Lee Owens said. Owens said seventh-graders seemed to adjust better as the boys finished in third place, led by Holden McDaniel with a third-place finish. The seventh-grade girls finished second, one point ahead of third-place Prairie Hills. "Great to see this happen as we coach that each point counts and can make a difference," Owens said. For the eighth-grade girls, Addie Fitch moved up through the field to finish 10th. Joshua Hailey led the eighth-grade boys with a seventh-place finish.
