City Championships - Varsity = 2nd JV = 2nd

Wow, it is great to see us running well at the end of the year! The JV guys got it started off with a great competitive race. We faded a little in the last 1/2 mile but we really competed against West and I think we can give them a run for their money next week at Conference. I got my first City Champion in JV City Champion Ben B. and we had multiple runners who had the lead at one time or another in the race. It was fun to see so many green jerseys up front and competing. Next week will be a big race for the JV guys as we try to end the season on a high note. We will have multiple runners who could be JV1 or JV2 Conference Champions along with both teams having a shot to win either race. I hope to see lots of PRs as we fight for those end of the year varsity points and position ourselves strongly in the Conference (rest an focus is our goal this week)

In the varsity race the guys ran well as we put 7 runners under 17:30!!! I was very pleased with our overall performance, as we know we have room for individual improvement that will allow us an oppurtunity to chase LaFollette next week. I hope we continue to improve and keep the teams we've beaten behind us and our focus on those teams yet we need to beat. The conference meet will be very competitive (with 5 teams ranked in the state) but we have proven we are very capable of running at this level. It was nice to have 3 runners under 17:00 as Jordan C. earned 1st All-City and Aaron H. and Benji earned Honorable Mention All City. John H. had a very nice PR and our 5,6, & 7 of Andy G., Prashanth, and Jordan B. ran a very solid race. I really like the direction these 7 runners our leading our team.
