Waconia and Apple Valley

The Waconia Crown College meet was a great meet. We won Boys JV & JH and we also won Girls JH. Our Boys Varsity got third and out girls Varsity and JV got 2nd. Unfortunately, we could not bring anything home to prove our victories because they switched to handing out T-shirts???? and not trophies. Despite this everybody had good performances and a lot of fun.

Apple Valley was an interesting race. Even though our team is tiny compared to some of the other teams there, we still made a big footprint. For Varsity girls we got 13th, with Senior Janessa Mueleners getting 7th place! Varsity boys had a lot of great performances which helped them finish in 10th place. Boys and Girls JV got 5th and 9th place, respectively. JH boys also did really well landing themselves 8th place. All around everbody did really good and 20 of our athletes even had amazing course PR's.  This meet just proved that quality, not quantity wins races.

Baylor Park recap

The weather was great for running, not too warm and not too cold. On this perfect day we had a lot of PR's and a lot of good performances. Lets start out with varsity boys. Carter Olson ran a great 5k, finishing first for Belle Plaine varsity boys with a time of 17:42.5. Freshman Kyle Siemon really released the beast this time, becoming 2nd on varsity with a time of 17:58.8. All around our boys varsity did really good and we even managed to beat Jordan!

Our girls Varsity took first in their 4k race, with Janessa Meuleners leading the way with a first place time of 14:58.9. We won both JV races, but lets start by looking at the boys race. Carter Corl got himself back on varsity with a time of 18:49.7 and Taylor Lenz broke his PR by a whole whopping two minutes! For the girls, 7th grader McKenna Hermann has landed herself a firm spot on Varsity with a great time of 18:17.8 and the rest of our girls JV ran a good race as well, so we easily got first beating out our competition by 41 points. Make no mistake the Junior High Races were just as eventful. Jesse Barringer placed second in his 1-mile race and Mikkel had a great start to his xc season with a time of 6:12.6, no broken arm is going to hold him back. For our girls JH, Emily Berger won the race with an amazing time of 6:23.3 and our other girls had great times as well. Definitely worth noting is that we won both JH races. All around Belle Plaine did great at Baylor Park and we succeeded at winning 5 out of 6 of the races there. Hopefully with a lot of hard work we can make that 6 out of 6 in the future.

Gerry Smith Results

What a tremendous showing we had at the 30 team Gerry Smith Invitational held at the Montgomery golf course last Thursday.  In a lightning delayed start the girls JV started the Tigers out in a great effort finishing in 5th place.  Haley Witt led the way finishing in 20th place followed by teammate Trinity Webb in 30th place.  Freshman Thea Iverson(40), 8th graders Jessica Bruggemeier(45), and Jamie Zahn(56), rounded out the top 5.

Next up were the boys JV finishing in 1st place with 41 points.  Kyle Siemon led the way finishing in 4th overall with Max Hughes just behind in 5th.  Juniors Sam Gregory(9), Derek May(10), and Taylor Witt(13) rounded out the scoring for the Tigers.  The JV boys become the first Belle Plaine Tiger squad to ever win the Gerry Smith.  Congratulations!

Senior Janessa Meuleners led the girls varsity to a 5th place finish taking 2nd overall in a time of 15:40.  Juniors Danika Schroeder(28), and Alissa Schultz(31) crossed the line next, followed by freshman Skylee Schwingler(66, and 8th grader Cassie Stolt(71).  Hanna Witt and Courtney Fogarty rounded out the girls varsity squad.  Fifth is the highest we have ever placed at the Gerry Smith on the girls side.

In the boys varsity race Brendan Mackedanz(29) led the boys to a 7th place team finish.   Junior Dylan Bigaouette(49), and senior Carter Olson(54), followed with Sophomore Kellen Bergs(57), and senior Tyler Schumacher(58), rounding out the scoring.  8th grader Eliot Rudd(63), and Junior Carter Corl(85), completed the varsity line up.  This was an outstanding finish to a very competitive boys team.

In the junior high boys 8th grader Jesse Barringer led the team to a second place finish earning a medal by placing 3rd overall.  He was followed by 7th graders Drew Hastings(12), and Ben Hundsader(14).  Eighth grader Braydon Setterquist(15) was just behind with Tristan Cruz(37), rounding out the scoring for the junior high.  The young kids ran well many were close to their personal bests.  This is the highest finish we have ever had in the boys junior high.

To finish off the meet we had the girls junior high finish in 4th place.  They were led by Mackenna Hermann with a medal earning 2nd place finish.  She was followed by fellow 7th grader Emily Berger in 16th place.  Kate Wright and Emma Reed rounded out the scoring for the Tigers in 31st and 78th places respectively.  Fellow eighth graders Nicole Lundsten and McKayla O'Laughlin also ran.  The girls had a terrific showing setting a very high bar for the rest of the season.

Our next meet will be at Baylor Park near Norwood Tuesday, September 9th.
