Peterson is undefeated this season and won the small-school girls race at the Las Vegas Invitational last weekend. Photo by Steve Andrascik . In week one, Class 1A Indian Springs hosted Class 4A schools Eldorado and Rancho, and in week two, Class 4A Silverado competed against Class 1A Trinity and Class 2A The Meadows. Yet bigger is not necessarily better.
Boulder City is very good.
The boys ran poorly but still won the meet with 80 points, with four boys in the top 20 out of 100. And it's not that Boulder City is avoiding Class 4A schools. Bottom line, Boulder boys and girls can race with anybody. Boulder City's boys are led by state Class 3A runner-up Jack Hardy. Not too many local teams could hold out their top two runners and still place fifth in a meet.
