Dock cross country got its first look at the Bicentennial Athletic League in a race at Tyler State Park on Tuesday.
Bobby-Jo Dodds placed third in the girls race. The senior ran 25:05, a marked improvement over last year’s first race at Tyler in which she ran 26:17 and placed 12th.
Daniel Ringenberg finished sixth in the first boys race in 19 minutes, 39 seconds. The time was only 20 seconds off his best ever on the course. His time also represented another big jump from a year ago. In last year’s first race at Tyler, Ringenberg ran almost one minute slower, 20:36.
Dock will compete against many of the same BAL foes next Tuesday at a meet at the Curtis Arboretum.
