Big 8 Grade Level Challenge = 2nd Place

The boys ran to a solid 2nd place finish at Tuesday night's Big 8 Grade Level Challenge. Not all teams treat this meet the same but we bring everyone who is healthy to compete to this meet and came within 2 points of winning this season. Having strong competitors across each grade is the name of the game for this race and our team represented that well this year. We had Mick & Henry who medaled in the senior race, AJ & Jack going 1, 2 in the junior race, Jonathan earning a medal in the sophomore race and Finn doing the same in the freshman race. It was great to see so many JMM green jerseys running well and I look forward to seeing even more of them at the front of races the remainder of this season and moving into the future. Our team is super competitive this season and I enjoy seeing us learn how to be front of the pack runners. We were back on the Verona course for the second time in less than 10 days and many guys showed they learned from their experiences. We had lifetime PRs from Fred, Alex V, Sai, David B, Jack C, Maccoy, and PJ. I hope the underclassmen have learned a lot about this course because I think we will see a lot of races on this course in the future and some that will carry great end of the season expectations. Tuesday's meet was just a stepping stone towards our end of the season goals. We will get back at it in practice and on Saturday as we prepare for a trip north to attend one of the most storied invites in the state...the Smiley Invite (new location this year). Keep up the good work at practice & in the classroom. Every runner, every run, every day.
