Devine’s JV Arabians placed third among eight teams in the Hondo Invitational last Saturday while the JV Horses who did not have enough runners to qualify for a team placing also competed in the event.
The Arabians were led by Rebecca Mares who finished 19th individually out of 72 competitors. Rebecca’s 15:30 was 1:37 better than her last race in Pearsall on August 24. Shelby Joslin (21st-15:37) reduced her previous time by 1:55.
Corinne Fowler (23rd-15:40) improved by :44 seconds while Allie Dugosh (29th-15:56) bettered hers by 1:13. Trinity Black recorded her best placing (49th) with a time of 17:11, which was also her person best by 1:02.
There was a timing issue in the JV boys division so accurate times are a little vague. Owen Fowler led the way with a 22:30 Trailing Owen was Kristofer Aguirre (25:50) and Arturo Diaz (26:22).
The Warhorses did not have the minimum number of runners to qualify for a team placement.
