Elise Boulton runs quickest personal time at state meet on Saturday

   Montezuma's Elise Boulton competed in the 2019 Iowa State Cross Country Championship Meet on Saturday, Nov. 2. The meet, held at Lakeside Golf Course in Fort Dodge, took place on a cold November day, but the times themselves were brisk as well.
   Running in her third consecutive state meet, Boulton finished with her quickest time, running with a completed time of 20:52. The time of 20:52, good for 43rd out of 139 runners in the race, is the fastest Montezuma girls 5k time run at the Fort Dodge course, and the second fastest course Boulton, a junior, has completed in her career. The race marks the end of the 2019 season, but a bright 2020 season for Boulton and both Montezuma boys and girls cross country teams is ahead.
