The Otter Tail Central Bulldogs wrapped up their season at the Section Meet with a day full of accomplishments, personal records, and a little history being made.

The girls had a phenomenal day, finishing fourth out of 16 teams, earning the highest team finish in OTC girls cross country history. This group has continued to improve throughout the season, and their hard work and commitment paid off with a performance that will be remembered for a long time.

The boys finished ninth out of 17 teams and were led by sophomore Drew Robinson, who ran an outstanding race to finish 10th overall in a personal-best time of 16:58.7. With his top-10 finish, Drew punched his ticket to the Class A state meet. It has been exciting to watch Drew’s progression this season, and he has earned the opportunity to compete against the best runners in the state.

The boys were also led by Jude Hagemeister, who finished 37th in 18:28.0, followed by Oren Brackin in 56th and Fred Scott in 85th. On the girls’ side, Senior Brielle Malone led the Bulldogs with a 17th-place finish in 20:42.6, followed by Claire Mansker in 24th in 21:09.8 and Bella Scholten in 25th in 21:14.9. Tegan Brandon, Trinity Baker, Quinn Hagemeister, and Delia Tebrugge rounded out the girls’ lineup.

Drew Robinson will race on November 7 at 1pm at the Majestic Oaks Golf Course.
