The calendar has turned to October which means there is only 1 month left of cross country season. To kick off the final week the Spartans traveled to the Arrowhead Invite, our first time attending this meet. There was good competition and a chance to face off against teams we don't normally compete against. Will L-S had a great race up front finishing at 2nd place and a season's best time. Charlie just missed a top 25 finish with 29th place and he was followed by Berndt who ran a solid race with 16:50 finishing time. This led to a 9th place finish out of 25 teams, although the varsity squad will need to be more aggressive the first half of the race to improve their team finish over the coming meets. We saw many of our JV runners embrace the opportunity to run fast in the Varsity Reserve race This group was led by Bowen and Andy both running 18:46 and saw freshman Ryan S and Eli K both run PRs. The rest of the JV squad took to the course for the final race as the sun was drying out the course. The JV squad ran a great race as a team to achieve a 9th place finish and PRs from Abhi K, Ephraim M, Christian D, Luke H, Miguel M, Kaiden S, Eli S, Hunter E, Owen G, Noah H, Devon M, Luke S, Brayden T, Declan K, Coda S, and Walter S. It is exciting to see our guys chasing fast times and working with their teammates to accomplish difficult things. We look forward to every runner, running hard every run, on every day...big things to come in the closing weeks of the season!
