The Soph/Frosh group was led by Aidan P and Dylan A who finished in the top 10 running great races at the front of the pack. This experience will hopefully pay off for them over their career. They were joined in the the top 20 earning medals by Cole W. Sam S ran super strong just missing out on the top 20 and Casey W had an amazing last lap passing many runners giving us 5 runners in the top 24. Our team score of 74 points was impressive at a big meet like this and outdistanced Big 8 foe Sun Prairie by 25 points. This group of sophomores was chased to the finish by freshman Mick S and Rees H who joined the sub 19:00 club. It was fun to see these guys compete. The hard work they have shown throughout the season and every week at practice really shined in this race. I hope they continue to strive to improve and look for big things out of this group over the next couple of years.
The varsity group made the mistake of getting out slow again and paid the price with times and finishes. We are better than what we raced today in the varsity and have 3 weeks left to prove it. This group was led today by Imaad S with his sub 17 performance. Peter S led our next group with him and Peter B being sub 18. Peter V and Brett N rounded out the scoring 5. Jacob W and Neil K got their first experience at the varsity level and will benefit from this moving forward. We learn from each experience and can use this to run well this next week at Stoughton.
The junior/senior race was very competitive as Gavin H snuck into the top 20 with his sub 18:00 performance. Joey C, Avery G, and Nick B came in under 18:30 and Karsten K rounded out the scorers as he and Nathan H went under 19:00. Many runners reached new levels breaking 20 minutes, reaching a PR, or just improving from last week. As our JV continues to improve it gives us more depth and keeps our varsity improving. We are ready to run well at the end of the season it is important we do everything in the classroom, away from practice, and health wise that allow us to perform our best during championship season.
