Midwest Invite - Varsity 26th, JV1 - 29th, JV2 - 34th

Will L-S runs 15:34 for 7th
Fastest time by a Memorial runner since 1991's Phil Downs

Fall has arrived but fall like temperatures did not greet the 54 teams that arrived at Blackhawk GC for the running of the Midwest Invitational. Instead the Spartans battled the heat and tough competition but many athletes were undaunted as they ran season best times. Madison Memorial was led by Will L-S who ran the fastest time since three time state champion Phil Downs ran for the Spartans. Will's time of 15:34 was good enough for 7th place in the varsity race. Anthony L ran a 27 sec PR to step up and be our #5 runner on the day. Bowen D ran under 19 minutes with his PR of 18:49 and Mitchell S used his first varsity race to lower his lifetime PR. Charlie G led our JV1 runners going under 20 minutes for the first time in his young career. Nathan Z, Kaiden S, and Grey H all added lifetime PRs as our group of runners in the JV1 race did a great job running as a group and helping each other to season best times. Jacob S stepped up in the JV2 race with a 1:24 lifetime PR. Luke H lowered his PR as did Skylar W, Owen G, Noah H, Brayden T, and Christian D. Our team competed at a high level and is looking strong at the right time of the season. As we enter the last month of the season it will be important to do the little things right to put a perfect ending on an already great season.
