Big 8 Grade Level Challenge - 4th Place

This meet is always a fun meet as we get to see how athletes compare to other athletes in their own grades. Some excelled today and others struggled a little. Many variables that came into play that we should learn from...warmer weather, after school meet (water and food intake), early week meet (night before the night before was Sunday night), grade level vs jv/varsity races (missing our pacing partners). Our season is focused on running well at the end of the season, if Tuesday wasn't your best race...make sure to learn from it.

The Frosh/Soph started the night off very well for us with 11 PRs and many kids running faster on this course than they just did a week and half ago. Jonah W. had a great race to finish 4th in the Soph race and Sam B. and Bryce H. ran great to finish 2nd and 5th respectively in the Frosh race. This whole group of kids is really learning to compete and it is exciting to see what our future is going to look like. I really encourage the Frosh & Soph to really look at these results and what it is going to take for them to be top of our conference in two to three years (Can we put in the work over the next couple of seasons to win a conference title??).

In the Junior/Senior race we added another 10 PRs and kept the momentum rolling. Jordan C. finished 8th in the Senior race and Jordan B. finished 9th in the Junior race. It was nice seeing some new faces closing the gap on our varsity team. The competition for 6th -10th spots on our team is going to make everybody a better runner. Our team was able to place 4th tonight. We will need to continue to work hard to maintain this position (Verona sat out some runners tonight and Middleton and Sun Prairie are hot on our tails) for the end of the season. We have made some improvements to beat both Middleton and Sun Prairie both teams we will need to beat to get to State...lets keep distancing ourselves from these competitors.
