End of Season News & Notes

THANK YOU for another great season. The 2017 season saw many positives as the boys worked hard all season long to reach their individual and team goals. Many personal records were accomplished due to hard work over the off season, consistent training during the season, and mental toughness on race day. The JV team won the Smiley Invite and Joel F earned a trip back to the WIAA State Meet. We ran many miles, difficult workouts like the ladder & Rosa Hills, and dedicated ourselves to the team and our goals. As we look forward to the future we want to give a THANK YOU to our graduating seniors. This group of seniors have been a big part of developing our program over the last four years and leave the team in the good hands of the freshmen, sophomores, and juniors. We challenge the next group of JMM distance runners to make a plan and set a goal for next season. Through hard work and dedication the next season can be even better.

2017 Results

Division 1 State Meet - Team & Individual/Interactive
DeForest Sectional - Varsity
Big 8 Conference Meet (All Results)
Madison City Meet (All Results)

Team GPA - 3.527

For the eighth season in a row our team has exceeded our team goal for GPA (3.4 or higher). This was our 3rd best performance in the last twelve years. KEEP WORKING HARD IN THE CLASSROOM!!! Our team has EIGHT student athletes with a 4.0 GPA, who were joined by six other teammates for a perfect 4.0 GPA during the 1st quarter. 85% of our athletes met our individual goal of exceeding 3.0 for their cumulative GPA. Those athletes needing help in the classroom should ask a teammate, talk to their teachers, and get a tutor. There are many options available at Memorial if you take advantage of them. Keep up the great tradition of Memorial Distance Runners in the classroom.
