Week Six

A warm and humid week created great successes for the cross-country team along with gallons of sweat.  Tuesday the Tigers were in action at Crown College for the run of the lakes.  The varsity boys were sixth led by Drew Hastings 5th place finish, varsity girls, led by Lizzy Schmidt placed second 3 points behind Chanhassen.  In the JV races Hunter Schmidt led the boys to a seventh place finish and the 1-2 finish of Kalina Wolf and Alaina Herrmann was not quite enough to overcome Chanhassen for first.  In the Junior High races Champion Abby Mickus lead the girls to a third place finish while Emmette Gerres (2nd) led the boys team to a 4th place finish.

It was great to see our inexperienced runners continue to make improvements.  They are quickly becoming knowledgable competitors.

Saturdays meet in Winona was hot.  Amazingly everyone survived and competed very well.  It was a pleasure being on a trip with such fine young people who represented the community, school, and our team with such class.  The boys JV started the day out for us with a great performance by Tommy Sullivan leading the team to a 6th place finish.  The girls varsity was the next race.  The girls ran up against two very good teams and competed to a 3rd place finish.  In the boys varsity race they managed to out pace the other A schools and finish just behind all the AA schools in 6th place.  The final race of the day was the girls JV and young Mackenzie Murphy beat the heat to lead the JV to a 2nd place finish.

The kids ran well despite the conditions.  There was only 1 PR on the day but many of the kids times were faster this year than last which means we are a bit ahead of where we were last season.

This week we are in action Tuesday at the Jaguar Challenge in Bloomington.  See below for details.
