Stoughton Invite - JV = 3rd, Varsity ~ 5th


Tommy & Will earn varsity medals at Stoughton

Wisconsin weather...80's the last week of September...not ideal for cross country but the Spartans took to the cross country course to compete at our best because that is cross country. Stoughton had less flags on the course this season but the ones they did place were pushed as far as they could be in the corners of the athletic grounds. This course used to be a fast course...today it was not and I would say by 30 - 60 seconds. We competed regardless and will now prepare to start our championship run with City next week. In the varsity race Will L had a great race beating some runners who had been ahead of him earlier in the year. Will and Tommy S earned medals with their 10th & 22nd place finishes respectively. Fred had a nice race improving upon his varsity experience from last week. Cole W got another opportunity to represent us at the varsity level. It was nice to get Nick Z back and racing. Finn A and Aatman helped bring our JV team to a nice 3rd place finish. Jamie I and PJ M rounded out our scoring squad in the JV race. August S ran a lifetime best in the JV race and worked really hard for that finish. Overall, I was proud of runners who crossed the line and am excited to see what they can do on some consistent courses we have been on earlier in the year. City we will return to Lake Farm Park and Conference will end the season for our JV runners with the same course we started on at Verona HS. Time to get healthy, be rested, and run our best. Every runner, every run, every day.
