SAGE X-C AND GOLF TEAMS IMPRESSIVE

SAGES CROSS COUNTRY TEAM
Monticello’s boys cross country team finished second in a 23-team cross country meet held in Peoria last Saturday. The girls were eighth in a 19-team field.
The boys won the Chrisman Cow Chip Classic two weeks ago.
Seniors Scott Phelps, Keith Butler, and Andrew Colbert lead the Sages boys team. All three boys ran on relay teams last spring that placed in the state track meet. Phelps also placed in the 800 meter run and set a school record in the event.
Phelps and Butler advanced to the state cross country meet last year. The Sages should do well in state competition this fall.
