The varsity competition started off the meet and LaFollette showed why they are the #1 ranked team in the state today. We were in a battle with West for 2nd place and ran a great race to take 2nd scoring 47 points to West's 67 points. Our team was led by Luke V who broke up LaFollette's perfect score by finishing 5th in 16:31. He was closely followed by Jonas B who ran a PR of 16:34 for 7th earning All-City honors. Just missing out on All-City was Rory S (11th - 16:48) and Casey GT (13th - 16:49) who ran solid races as our 3rd & 4th runners. Jack Z ran a PR of 17:04 to be our # 5 in 16th place. Our gap of :33 seconds between #1 - 5 was very solid but what was even more impressive was our finish of our #6 and #7 runners who also came in during the next :16 seconds. Austin W was right behind Jack finishing 17th in 17:07 and Trevor R finished 21st in 17:20. Our varsity competed well all-around from our first to our seventh runner and we will need to continue to do this in the coming weeks to place our best at each championship race.
In two tries this season our JV took 2nd each time against West's JV team. Tonight our team scored an impressive 30 points and edged West by 2 points to earn the JV City Championship. The JV crew was led by JV City Champion Zach H who ran a PR of 17:15 for the victory. Teammate Dominic G ran a PR of 17:30 to place runner-up in the race. Sam Z (17:40 - 5th) and Jared G (17:50 - 9th) both ran PRs to earn top 10 finishes and Benton DD wrapped up our scoring with his 18:03 for 13th place. Joel F (18:06 - 16th) and Ty B (18:09 - 19th) rounded out the scoring seven runners in JV. Their were 46 season bests run on the day and they included the following lifetime PRs: Clayton K (1:08), Richard T (1:00), Peter S (:57), Garrett K (:51), Joey DR (:49), James B (:43), Liam H (:35), Kevin T (:34), Sam M (:29), Finn J (:28), Nathan S (:25), Stryder C (:24), Grant J (:17), Adrian A (:16), Kyle W (:16), Ameya K (:14), Nathan W (:13), Pete B (:12), Henry C (:08), Zane R (:06), and Elliot B (:04). As this group prepares for the Conference Championships they are peaking at the right time. Take care of yourself in the coming days, get some good rest, and be ready to end the season on a high note in Janesville on Saturday.
