Usher finishes strong at state meet

During the final mile of Nolan Usher's inaugural state cross country meet, his coach thought he passed about 15 runners.  He wasn't sure about that figure.  "You can't really count them, you just gotta go!" said the Chickasaw sophomore, who finished in 59th place of 140 runners at the meet Saturday in Fort Dodge.  "It was a great experience, I had a great time," he continued. "It was pretty intense running with a big group like that. Right at the beginning I got behind people and it slowed me down, but once you get around that it was OK."  A true competitor, Usher said his time was also OK but could have been better. But he had no such reservations about the weather.  More on the story may be found in the Nov. 1 Tribune.
