Rain shortens Fergus tennis in Great Falls

Rain put a damper on the tennis duals between Fergus, Butte Central, C.M. Russell High School and Great Falls High School on Tuesday in Great Falls.
The Golden Eagles were supposed to play Butte Central early in the day on Tuesday, but because of a rainy forecast the Maroons did not make the trip from Butte to Great Falls.
Fergus did get its match against Great Falls High started, but when a regular cloudburst hit Great Falls in the early afternoon the matches were suspended. Also, the dual between C.M. Russell High and Fergus was canceled due to the wet conditions.

Running is very much a part of Fergus High School senior Kai Krumweide’s character. The cross-county and track runner for the Golden Eagles has decided he enjoys running so much he is taking it to the next level. Krumweide recently signed a letter of intent to compete for the MSU-Northern men’s cross-country program beginning next fall.
The MSU-Northern cross-country program is relatively new, having only been in existence for two years. For Coach Chad Spangler the excitement of building a new program has been very enjoyable.

Although the two Grass Range girls were not successful in winning another Region IX tournament championship, Murnion and Matovich had a great time playing together at the junior college level. Later in March Murnion earned honors by being named to the Region IX all-conference team.
