What a strange day of weather? Frost delay, warm up in the fog, clear out and beautiful skies...got to love cross country in Wisconsin :) Saturday was the last meet for many runners and it was great to see the JV kids show up and really compete. We ran really well in the JV 2 and JV 1 race, with some kids even setting PR's on this challenging course. I was glad to see the kids run well and perform at or better than their PR's on a true cross country course (includes hills :) Our JV 2 kids started the day off with a third place team finish, B. Hall had a nice race with a top ten finish. In the JV 1 race, we followed up our performance with a 2nd place finish (we gave West the scare we wanted but it wasn't meant to be this year...next year). T. O'Keefe, P. Prabakaran, and R. Pedersen all scored top ten finishes!!! Last year we had the JV2 individual champion, this year we had the JV1 individual champions, next year....? Our varsity competed again against some of the toughest competition in the state. We were hoping for a top 4 finish but had to settle for 5th place. We learned the importance again of every runner as we tied with Middleton and East but J. Hayes came through as the top # 6 runner for those three teams leaving us in 5th place. The varsity gets another race on Saturday to compete against many of these teams and try to earn a berth to state...so one more week of fast times and a chance to get all 7 guys to have a good race on the same day. Overall, conference was a great success and the JMM program looks prepared to storm the Big 8 Conference next year with multiple individual and team conference titles!!!
