💜🐾 CL JONES RUNNERS COMPETE STRONG AT THE MINDEN INVITATIONAL! 🐾💜
Our CL Jones boys and girls represented Minden extremely well Saturday at the Minden Invitational. The middle school races took place during the warmest part of the meet, with temperatures approaching 80 degrees, high humidity, and almost no wind. Despite the difficult conditions, our runners competed with toughness and determination!
BOYS — FIFTH-PLACE TEAM FINISH
The CL Jones boys placed fifth in an incredibly close nine-team competition. Only 16 points separated first through sixth place, and the Whippets finished just five points out of fourth!
💜 Gideon Warner led the team with an outstanding fifth-place finish in 11:31. Gideon competed near the front throughout the race and gave CL Jones an excellent opening score.
💜 Logan Grollmes finished 13th in 12:12, giving the Whippets another strong performance near the front of the field.
💜 Dominic Cervantes placed 25th in 12:58 and provided an important third score for the team.
💜 Jax Aschenbrenner finished 28th in 13:07, completing the four-runner team score.
💜 Liam Collins crossed the finish line immediately behind Jax, placing 29th in 13:07. Only one-quarter of a second separated the two teammates!
💜 Zander Sinsel placed 36th in 13:29, adding valuable depth to a strong CL Jones lineup.
The boys demonstrated excellent team running, with all six finishing among the top 36 in a field of 65 runners!
GIRLS — A STRONG INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE
💜 Josie Graham represented CL Jones in the girls’ race and delivered an excellent performance, placing 13th in 14:17. Josie competed hard against a field of 45 runners and earned a well-deserved top-15 finish!
We are extremely proud of the effort, attitude, and perseverance shown by all seven CL Jones runners. They competed hard in challenging conditions, supported one another, and represented their school and community with pride.
Congratulations on a great day of racing!

BOYS — A STRONG TEAM EFFORT
The Minden boys placed seventh in a large and competitive field. Twelve Whippets completed the challenging race, competing hard and representing Minden well on their home course.
💜 Gage Thull led the Whippets with an outstanding eighth-place medal in 17:45, competing near the front of a very talented field.
💜 Isaac Reed placed 23rd in 18:42 and delivered a solid performance as Minden’s second runner.
💜 Trystan Sharkey finished 33rd in 19:09, providing another important score for the team.
💜 Seth Jacobitz completed Minden’s four-runner team score, placing 43rd in 19:52 and breaking 20 minutes despite the difficult conditions.
💜 Blake Boudreau placed 49th in 20:16 as our fifth runner, continuing to gain valuable varsity experience.
💜 Landon Grollmes finished 74th in 21:39 and competed hard throughout his opportunity to race on the home course.
💜 Frank Kovacs placed 76th in 21:56, continuing to work through the challenging conditions with determination.
💜 Brantley Wright finished 78th in 22:18 and gained more experience that will benefit him throughout his freshman season and beyond.
💜 Elijah Warner placed 89th in 23:44, representing the Whippets with toughness and perseverance.
💜 Lucas Baughman finished 96th in 24:57, completing a demanding 5K and gaining important experience on the home course.
💜 Jonathan Althouse placed 98th in 25:10 and demonstrated the determination and commitment expected from a senior Whippet.
💜 Lucas “Luke” Werner finished 105th in 27:33. Completing a difficult race in challenging conditions takes courage, and Luke continued battling all the way through the finish.
Although they were unable to compete Saturday, Holt Aschenbrenner, Jack Widdifield, and Steven Rhodes remain important members of this team. We look forward to having them healthy and back in the lineup.
Saturday gave both teams an opportunity to compete, learn, and grow. We are proud of every athlete who stepped onto the course—as well as those who supported their teammates from the sidelines.
The season is still young, there is plenty of work ahead, and these Whippets are only getting started!
