The infamous hill at Swain is now the infamous "hills", as the 2008 edition of the Swain Invitational unveiled a new course, with plenty of ups and downs.
Girls' Recap:Congrats to Stephanie Sjostrom and Cassidy Soli for their impressive victories this past weekend at the Swain Invitational. Both Steph & Cassidy set course records for their respective performances in the AA Girls' Varsity and Sophomore Girls' races. Overall the girls' team earned a 7th place finish in the Varsity race and 3rd place team finish in the Sophomore Girls' race. Katie Batters finished 19th as our #2 runner, Mari Schlitter 54th, Amanda Dvorak 65th and Carin Crego 98th place finishes for our #3-5 runners. Sophomore Jenna McElroy made a strong comeback after laying low for 10 days as our #2 runner in the Sophomore Race. Emily Huemann showed that she's ready to crack the team top 10 with her 26th place individual finish as our #3 runner.
Boys' Recap: Kyle Richards finished 5th behind 4th ranked Robel Kebede of Mpls South to lead the Rebels to a 17th place team finish. Not bad considering that we were without the services of #3 runner JP Rose and #5 Aaron Hauck. Captain Caleb Pheneger ran to a Swain "PR" with a 45th place finish followed by Kyle Rodeback in 73rd, Dillon Novak in 116th and a remarkable finish by our #5 Chris Oleson who hit the turf twice during the race. In the Sophomore Boys' 4K, the Rebels finished 12th of 20+ teams. Leading the way were Jay Alexander in 24th, Joe Zwolski in 57th and Nick Brady in 62nd.
