Week Seven

With three races in seven days it was very impressive to have 37 kids PR at the Jaguar Challenge on Tuesday.  We had top 10 finishers in 5 of the 6 races against some exceptional competition from larger cities schools.

In the junior high boys race Emmette Gerres placed 5th good enough for a medal.  Teammates Adam Stiemke and Ashton Holbrook were not far behind in 29th and 34th respectively.  Abby Mickus ran her way to a second place finish in the girls junior high race with teammates Alyana Lindahl and Isabella Haefner close behind in 11th and 14th.  In the girls varsity race Lizzy Schmidt ran a new PR of 20:16 leading a contingent of Tigers to a 4th place finish. The top 5 scorers for Belle Plaine finished under 38th place.  Drew Hastings set a new school record running a 16:58 in the boys varsity race.  He erased a record held by Pat Slack set in 2005 of 17:06.  Kyle Siemon also place in the medals at the Challenge in 9th place.  In the boys JV race Colton Bahr led the way in 48th place.  The final race of the day, JV girls, Emily Berger finished in 3rd place followed closely by Savanna DeYoung (7th) and Alaina Herrmann (8th).  The JV girls finished in 2nd place four points behind powerhouse Edina.
