Peru State athletic director Wayne Albury announced that Kassidy Haberman (Sioux Falls, S.D.) and Noah Temme (Fairmont) were selected as the Bobcat student-athletes of the month for September.
Haberman and Temme were recognized as they both made history as part of either a new recognized competitive sport or one which has been revitalized.
Temme, a senior, was the top male runner for Peru State when its rejuvenated men’s cross country team participated in the Dean White Invitational hosted by Doane College on Sept. 26. He finished 58th overall in a time of 35:31.2 which was 34th for scoring purposes.
This was the first time since the mid-1980’s since Peru State has had a men’s cross country team.
Albury stated, “Obviously, Peru State athletics continues to make its mark in history for the College with the beginning competition for our bowling teams and the revitalization of the men’s cross country team. Kassidy and Noah, along with their teammates, have become part of Bobcat lore.”
