SECTIONAL CHAMPIONS

Well, the work for this day started a long time ago which only makes the Sectional Championship feel that much better. The weather was sloppy, sickness was abound all week, but the team arose to the occassion and made sure that we would not be denied our first team state appearance since 1994. If you look at this group of varsity runners and what it has taken to bring this all together it makes the experience even more impressive. We've brought together a group of athletes from different backgrounds but rallied around a common goal. Many of these guys started training for this goal the Monday after school finals. Lots of hours were logged on the roads throughout the summer to accomplish this task and many more will be logged in the future to continue to keep reaching high goals. This group shows what can be accomplished when you put your mind to a task.

The sectional team comprised of 6 seniors (Benji, Aaron H., John, Andy G., Prashanth, and Ben B.), 1 junior (Jordan C.), 2 sophomores (Jordan B. and Hunter) and 1 freshman (Jonah) was just a small example of the hard workers on this 2009 Memorial CC team. It was great to see the support of the entire team at the course on Saturday and every runner that was a part of this season can feel proud of this accomplishment. Saturday's finish was led up front by the continued solid performance of Benji, Jordan C. and Aaron H. all finishing in the top ten. John and Andy joined forces during the race to secure themselves top 20 finishes. It was great to see our top 5 all in the top 20. Joran B and Prashanth rounded out the top 7 who competed in DeForest.
