The trip to Swain started with the collection of good intentioned contraban, and ended with our best showing ever. The boys JV team of Dylan Bigaouette (2nd), Max Hughes (3rd), Tony Dvorak (6th), Carter Corl (8th), Jack Otto (10th), Derek May (15th), Taylor Witt (17th), and Noah Hastings (21st), out distanced the rest of the field scoring a mere 29 points. In the girls JV race Hailey Witt (3rd), led the team to a second place finish. Thea Iverson (18th), Jamie Zahn (22nd), Trinity Webb (23rd), Courtney Fogarty (26th), Jessica Bruggemeier (29th), and Emily Krautkremer (50th), were the other JV girls team members.
In the girls Varsity competition Janessa Meuleners (3rd) lead the girls squad to a 4th place finish the best ever by Belle Plaine. There were 3 ranked teams in the race the girls out paced a ranked Lake City team by a few points. Danika Schroeder (39), Alissa Schultz (42), McKenna Hermann (58), Hannah Witt (73), Skylee Schwingler (84), and Cassie Stolt (94
), turned in great performances on the soggy course.
In the boys Varsity freshman Kyle Siemon led an outstanding effort by the boys squad which finished in 8th place tied with Proctor winning on the tie breaker. Sam Gregory was the 6th man, tie breaker, for the tigers finishing in 69th place. Following Siemon were, Kellen Bergs (48), Carter Olson (53), Tyler Schumacher (65), Brendan Mackadanz (67), Gregory, and Elliot Rudd (72).
This was by far the best we have ever performed at the Swain meet! Congratulations Tigers!
