Hard to believe we are done with week 5 of the cross-country season. We had a big week competing in the Lion Invitational at NYA and working hard toward our goals in practice. The Girls Junior High came up big on Tuesday with a second place finish in a meet which had competitors from 20 schools. Kate Haege, Grace Ludvik, Skylee Schwingler, Vanessa Rosales, and Alexa Lenz all ran personal bests on the 1600 meter course. The Boys Junior High finished in 5th place with John Morrison, Nate Loegering, Zak Hughes, Kenny Dvorak, Luke Hallgren, and Noah Hastings all running their best times on a 1600 meter course. In JV action Kelly Morrison ran a solid race placing 2nd overall. Teammate BreAnn McDermand ran a 30 second PR of 19:14 along with McKayla Siemon, Mariah Walsh, and Haley Witt the team placed 3rd. Boys JV was 7th with Derek May and Tyler Schumacher leading the way. In the Girls Varsity Janessa Meuleners won the race in 15:37. She took it out and lead commandingly for most of the race. Haley Leger was the second runner for the varsity coming home with and 18th place medal and Emilyn Siemon collected a 20th place medal for her efforts. The girls performed well placing 4th, their highest placing so far this season. On the Boys Varsity it was Zander Stier leading the way in 37th place. Teammates Tony Dvorak, Carter Olson, Dylan Bigaouette, and Carter Corl had strong runs to help the team to a 15th place finish. Over half the team showed the next morning for our run at 6:30 and wafles to follow. Then in the afternoon many kids did a nice long run pushing their mileage for the day near 9 miles. The kids continue to work hard and have fun. It is incredible to see what these kids are capable of. The next few weeks are going to be exciting to watch as their hard work begins paying off.
