The Macks Creek Pirates and Lady Pirates continued their strong runs this season, competing on Saturday in the Laker Invitational in Camdenton. After strong showings last weekend in the Mark Sabala Dam Invitational run in Pomme de Terre and the Warsaw Invitational on Tuesday, both the individual runners and team finishes continue to add accolades. Almost every Pirate and Lady Pirate runner posted a PR in today’s event!

Karsyn Jensen (18.46.84 - PR), Jason Bryant (19.37.61 - PR), Sebastian Sanchez (19.50.71 - PR), Fisher Wiethop (20:16.20 - PR), Mason Breshears (20:21.68 - PR), Parker Christian (20.44.23), and Michael Egan (21:57.98 - PR) all helped earn a team finish of fourth in the Purple Division and a ninth-place overall finish for the event.
The Lady Pirates were paced by Alejandra Sanchez, who finished 20th in the Purple Division with a time of 23:23.42 (PR). Kaelee Keehler (26:07.65 - PR), Bailey Allan (27:22.13 - PR), Izzy Willey (27:51.39 - PR), and Kelsie George (28:34.60 - PR) contributed to a team score to help them place fifth in the Purple Division and 10th overall.
