Montana State University-Northern ran away with the traveling trophy at the 3^rd Annual "Battle of the Borders" held at Sinks Canyon Center over the weekend.

Rustler Brayden Kovick led the way for the men's team as he cruised to a 1st place finish ahead of 2nd place finisher, teammate Parker Jones.   Kovick and Jones have been leading the Rustlers as they compete and push each other day in and day out.   "These two guys are going back and forth in winning races, and they make a tough duo as great training partners,"  said Coach Lara. Other runners for Central were Jared White who finished 8^th, Lukas Mathews 9^th and Florenzo Bauer 12^th.

Paige Flock led the women finishing in 4^th, followed by Breanna Beaslin 7^th, Jessilyn Monahan 8^th, Sienna Schuler 10^th and Kirsten Knezovich 11^th.

The Rustlers will take two weeks off of competition before travelling to Denver to run in the Denver Metro Invite.
