Week Nine

It was another big week for the cross-country team with a spaghetti feed on Friday and working water stops at the scenic byway half marathon.  We also had another nice trip down to the south part of Section 2A.  A chance to run on this years section course at the Buc Invite was worth the trip.  The Buc Invite has a little different format than most meets compiling times instead of places.  They also took into consideration all 7 times not just top 5.  This format played to our strength and the boys and girls left victorious until St. James discovered their 3 minute addition mistake.  Even so the boys team ran a strong race finishing in second ahead of a very good Fairmont team that had beaten them a week earlier.  The kids had a great day PR's continue to drop and they appear to be poised to enter the end of the season championships.









In the 2 mile JV race we had two boys run under 12 minutes and four girls run under 14 minutes.  Emmett Gerres 11:24 and Avery Mohlin 11:58 were the boys and Greta Steinhagen 13:02, Abby Mickus 13:08, Erin West 13:22, and Sydney Weiland 13:29 were the girls.  In the varsity races Jordyn Williams had a fabulous day finishing the day as our third runner and first in her heat.  Alaina Herrmann and Kalina Wolf had excellent performances as well.  Kyle Siemon led the boys with an impressive 17:01.  Hunter Schmidt and Colton Bahr also had PR days.

This week is MRC week with the race being held at Montgomery golf course.  It will be a great day to come out and enjoy a cross-country meet.  Hope to see you all there.  See times below.
