It was a tight race to the finish as Bear River gave Placer a scare and finished second by only four points.

On the boys side, Alex Coffman, Bear River's number one runner continues to work his way back from injury in impressive style.  He finished the boys varsity race in 3rd place covering the 5K course in a time of 17:27.  

Next up for the Bruins is the Bella Vista Bronco Invitational at Folsom High School on Saturday, October 13th.
