Cool weather, plenty of competition, and a raucous crowd led to many PRs at the Midwest Invitational in Janesville. 50 teams converged on Blackhawk GC for the 3 loop 5k. The Vel Phillips Memorial Spartans were ready to compete and saw 18 lifetime PRs fall on the day. Jamie I started the day off right in the blue JV race with his 18:27 for 57th place. Cole dropped 48 seconds to run a 19:11. While Peter S and Jack C joined the sub 20:00 running 19:41 and 19:53 respectively. Our varsity tooked the course next and were led by AJ's lifetime PR of 16:36 for 33rd place. Alvaro improved his lifetime PR to 17:49 and Finn ran a season best 18:19. Alex B (18:29) and Aatman (18:30) finished right near each other and were quickly followed by Hunter N (18:44) giving our team 7 runners on the day sub 18:45. Our white JV racers were led by top 10 finisher Owen B who ran a lifetime best of 19:34. PJ joined him under the 20:00 mark for a 15th place finish (19:57). Nathan F enjoyed a great finish in his first race of the season charging to a top 30 finish in 20:10. Seniors Will T (20:40) and Elijah E (22:06) helped round out the scoring for our team to finish 8th place. Freshman Levi M improved his season best to 22:09. Liam B ran a 22:15 PR and Caleb 22:35 and Nicholas 22:36 ran great first races of the season. We head into the final month of the season running well and look to get a few more PRs in the final 3 races.
