Dixon is hitting his stride

As the season races on, the Lake Holcombe cross country program is only improving, each time out.

Sept. 9 Bloomer

As the lone runner, at a meet in Bloomer, senior Alex Dixon crossed the finish line in 40th, in a time of 20:55.

Sept. 11 Stanley-Boyd

The Chieftains were then on the road to Stanley-Boyd, just a couple days later, where Dixon claimed 25th (20:15.31), searching to break 19 minutes.

Sophomore Lane Porter was also back with the team and came in 52nd (31:52.55).

With no time to rest, the team then headed to Loyal, where Dixon blew by much of the competition, taking eighth place (20:44).

“He’s on target,” said coach Greg “Cookie” Anderson. “Alex is really after it this time.”
