That means just two weeks left of the regular season. It was a big week with competitions at the Ney Center and Fairmont. Times were very fast at the Ney Center on Tuesday but the course was about 100 meters short. Regardless the kids ran very well placing third in both varsity and JV.
Leading the way for the JV on Tuesday were Tanner Witt, Isiah Trimbo, Dylan May, Calvin Hartman, for the boys and Sydney Weiland, Randi Fiskewold, Erin West, and Jessica Brueggemeier, for the girls. In the Varsity race it was Noah Stiemke and Tristan Cruz for the boys and Bailey Bahr and Mackenzie Murphy leading the way. In the open race running their first 5K of the season Emmett Gerres and Ashton Holbrook where lead boys. For the girls open race Rebecca Bruegemeier and Faith Miner led the way. The Junior High race was led by Evan Nelson and Austin Eyrich for boys and Isabelle Haefner and Abby Mickus for the girls.
Thursday we made the long trip to Fairmont to challenge the south half of section 2A. The home team was the favorite in the girls division but the Tigers had a terrific day upsetting their host. Lizzy Schmidt ran a new school record time of 19:36.7 bettering teammate Emily Berger's 2015 record of 19:55. Cassie Stolt ran a PR lowering her best to 20:16. Emily Berger ran well as did Jordyn Williams in a new PR time of 20:38.5. McKenna Herrmann also PR'd in 20:43.5. The top 7 finishers for the girls all earned medals by placing in the top 25. On the boys side Kyle Siemon placed 2nd running a new PR of 17:01.1 with Drew Hasting 3 seconds back in 4th place after taking a tumble on the slippery course. Mikkel Schmidt, Ben Hunsader, and Hunter Schmidt had break out runs helping their team to a 5th place finish. Times were excellent in the Junior High 1600 meter run nearly all the young runners finished in PR time. Abby Mickus and Meghan O'Laughlin led the girls while Emmett Gerres and Evan Nelson led the boys. Conditions were not the best for the I 90 race but Belle Plaine came out fast and had a great day.
Can't forget the Homecoming relay Friday from New Ulm. This year was the farthest we have run ever and conditions were not great but spirits where high. Thanks to all the parents that helped drive and provide lunch to participants. You made the day fun!
Coming up the rest of the week, it is pretty busy. Practices Wednesday and Thursday after school with our spaghetti feed on Friday after school (no practice). Kids are to sign up for a working time parents are welcome. Bring your friends and family the food is fabulous. Saturday is the Scenic Byway Half Marathon which we host 2 water stops down on the Blakely road starting at 9:30 ending around noon. The 7-9th graders host the stop closer to Blakely and the 10-12th graders the stop closer to Belle Plaine. Each group needs to come up with a theme for their stop and bring their enthusiasm. Runners judge the water stops and prizes are awarded. Historically we have done very well.
