Week Ten

With the conclusion of MRC week we look to the next challenge and the end of the season for many of our teammates.  Tuesday will mark the end of the season for all non varsity participants.  Many finished their seasons after the excitement of the MRC championships.  For 9 boys and 9 girls Thursday's section 2A meet is the focal point.  A top 2 finish by a team earns them a trip to the state while a top 8 finish will guarantee an individual a state trip.

It was an exciting day at the MRC last Tuesday when the tigers boys JV toed the line finishing in 3rd place with Tommy Sullivan leading the way with a 4th place finish.  Next the girls JV perfect scored the conference plus some securing the top 7 places and 14 of the first 15 places.  Savanna DeYoung was the champion of the JV girls race.  Next on the line were the girls varsity coming away with their 6th consecutive MRC championship with 29 points.  Malina Koepp was champion and conference MVP.  Joining Malina as all conference runners where teammates Lizzy Schmidt, Jordyn Williams, McKenna Herrmann, and Emily Berger.  Alaina Herrmann was our honorable mention runner.  In the boys race Belle Plaine finished in second with Drew Hastings (2) and Kyle Siemon (4) making the all conference team.  Hunter Schmidt was our honorable mention runner.  Not to be outdone the Junior High turned in two amazing races.  The boys team led by Emmett Gerres (2) tied for first with Jordan and won the tie breaker because our sixth runner Benton Siefert beat Jordans' 6th runner.  On the girls side it was Abby Mickus crossing the line as the champion followed by four teammates to win with a perfect score.  All in all a great day to be a tiger.
