Girls' Recap: Four of our "Top 7" ran to Lifetime PR's and Nine Rebel's ran to their 2nd Best times of the Season at the Section Championships this past Thursday. None had a bigger day than Taylor Zauggs, 15:51 ( #7 All-Time List) and Kelsey Jonason's Birthday celebrating 2+minute drop for a 18:48 4K . Overall the team placed 15th of 16 teams. Our Total Team Time was the Best of the Season, with the Top 5 running for a team time of 1:24.0, with 1:21 seconds separting our #1 from our #5. Viewing from afar...the team was a mere 2 minutes out of 10th place. Nicely done by Sr. Captain Shannon Wald with a PR to finish her HS career with additional applause to all of our Senior Girls'. Your leadership has paved the way for those that follow. Thanks to your mentoring we had the largest number of Middle Schooler's join us at theSection Meet. Thanks !
Boys' Recap: An impressive 92% of those that raced on Thursday ran to Lifetime PR's. One of the finest season finishes I've personally witnessed in XC. With a mere 43 seconds separating our #1 from our #5, we finished 12th overall out of 16 and like the girls' ran to a Seasonal Best Total Team Time of 1:29 for the 5K. Our Three Senior Captains saved the best for last as all three ran to Lifetime PR's. Alex Wachowiak is #36, Tyler Sayles, #44 and Alec Bierker is #51 on the 12th Grade Boy's All-Time List. Sophomores Aaron Kloeppner, Dmitry Bierker and Michael Volk cracked the Top 50 All-Time Lists with #'s 15, 30 and 40 respectively. Not since 2007 has any 9th Grader cracked the Top 50 List and we had Two this year with Ian Ivens, #37 and Luke Crandall #47.
With the majority of our Team returning,, next year looks promising !
