Frazee freshman Coltyn Pender wrapped up his tremendous cross country season with an 84th place finish at the state cross country meet over the weekend. Pender finished the race with a time of 17:30.05, which was just outside the top half of the 160 entrants in the state cross country meet. 

The cross country meet was won by Erik Semling of Cotter/Hope Lutheran who finished with a time of 15:16.6, which was just a second faster than his teammate Ryan Littlefield who finished with a time of 15:37.7. 

The Frazee freshman qualified for state after posting a personal best and the sixth fastest time in Frazee High School history at the section meet just one week ago. His section qualifying time was 17:21.3. 

The state cross country meet was held on Saturday at the Majestic Oaks Golf Club in Ham Lake, Minn.
