OBETZ - Bluffton sophomore Erik Nygaard finished 82nd in a field of 183 runners at the Div. III state cross country meet on an unseasonably warm Saturday morning at Fortress Obetz in Obetz.

Nygaard finished the 3.1-mile course in a time of 17:14. He ran a 5:11 first mile and was 83rd at that point. He moved up to 76th with a 10:46.4 time at the two-mile mark, and ran 6:27.6 over the final 1.1 miles to drop back six spots.
