There were highs and lows for the Great Bend High School cross-country team at the season-opening Great Bend Invitational on Thursday afternoon at Barton Lake course.Among the highs was senior Chon Chavez, who finished second overall behind Ellinwood’s Pedro Montoya.Montoya finished with a time of 16:40.30, while Chavez finished at 17:15.12.“Chon was his typical Chon self,” GBHS head coach Todd Kaiser said. “I think 17:15 is a pretty good time. He was nine seconds faster than he was on his time trials last Saturday.”Cristian Garcia and Genesis Rose were the next two Great Bend finishers, seizing 15th and 16th, respectively, as the Panthers finished fourth overall.“The boys didn’t run a very good team race,” Kaiser said.
