Buccaneer Cross Country Opens Season Strong in Bozeman
The Dawson Community College Buccaneer Cross Country team officially kicked off its 2025 season at Montana State University's Bobcat Twilight competition in Bozeman.
Leading the way for the Buccaneers was Joshua Eckhart, who delivered a standout performance by improving his personal best time in the 5K race by 27.5 seconds. Herman Weaselbear also impressed, setting a new personal best by shaving four seconds off his previous record.
Three other Buccaneers—Victoria Takes Enemy, Ezekiel Wallace, and Koban Yellowrobe—showed strong season debuts, opening their campaigns well ahead of last year's season-opening marks.
Head Coach Dempster Jackson praised the effort but emphasized the long road ahead:
"I'm pleased with the outcome of this meet, but there is still lots of work to be done."
The Buccaneers will look to build on this early momentum as they continue their fall campaign
