A 30 minute frost delay gave way to beautiful October weather for the 99th Annual WIAA State Boys Cross Country Championships. JMM was represented this year by Jonah W. who put himself in a great place early on in the race, moved up well in the middle of the race, and had an amazing kick at the end of the race to finish 13th overall. Jonah ran very relaxed and executed a great race plan which allowed him to have a successful state meet. Jonah was 13th overall and will be the 6th place returner (all 5 are juniors ahead of him) for next years state meet. It was great to see some Memorial faces in the crowd cheering with the masses and Jonah commented about hearing many encouraging words from our fans. It was also interesting to see how the Big Eight Conference performed. The three teams that beat us as the conference meet finished 2nd, 4th, and 6th at state. If we continue to improve to be able to compete with the other teams in our area it will guarantee positive results for our team at state. Jonah returns for one more CC season and looks forward to competing at state as a team next year. We bring back plenty of kids with varsity experience but we need to make some big steps forward in our off-season training to compete at the state level year in and year out. Lets make plans on being back in Wisconsin Rapids on October 27th, 2012.
