Saturday ended up being a great day for racing. The course was wet but held up nicely to all the runners and the conditions. The temperature was perfect and the competition was outstanding. The day started off with our Frosh/Soph race and another impressive performance by Jonah W. he helped lead the team to 7 season bests! If this group of kids decides to train hard and work together, the future of Memorial CC looks bright.
Our varsity kept the momentum going with their 6th place finish (4th place WI team). It was nice to see Aaron H. back competing and continue to see Jordan C. and Benji run well. We beat some quality teams in Verona, LaFollette, and Lax Logan but know we need to work hard to continue to improve. If we stay solid at 1,2,3 and move our 4th and 5th runners closer we are going to see some great results the rest of the season. We will be tested again this week, needing to prove our ability to beat Verona and LaF again this next weekend.
In the final race of the day, our JV started to make those steps forward to lead our squad towards where it will need to be in three weeks. Seniors Ben B., Aaron F., Brandon L., and Walter C. ran nice races and Colin S. had an amazing race (improving by almost 2 minutes!) it will be fun to see these guys races with the Frosh/Soph at our next JV competition. Overall, I was very pleased with how our team competed and many athletes took advantage of the opportunity to run season or personal bests. I hope we can keep this momentum going into the remaining weeks of the season.
