Lakeville Apple Jack Invite Results

Results for today's meet are now posted on the right side of the blog with the overall meet results posted here: Lakeville Apple Jack Invite

As for the meet, well, it was a hot one to say the least!  Personal and Season bests were at a premium, with those in the C Race having the best opportunities to run at their best, which really showed where we are at as a team.  We talked with our Varsity and JV runners to be smart and safe and not concern themselves with pushing really hard and if they didn't feel at their best because of the heat to back down or pull themselves out.

But, as mentioned, the C Race runners showed a great performance with the Girls finishing in 5th out of 10 teams lead by Lilah G, Akala L, and Eliana C finishing 4 seconds apart and placing 19th, 20th, and 21st.  The Boys team finished an impressive 2nd out of 13 teams, lead by the 2nd place finish of Peyton M, 5th place of Josh T, and the 7th place finish of Ryan P!

With the Varsity and JV runners we are proud of how smart they ran and put more emphasis on being safe and being able to race another day.  We didn't finish in the team places we would have liked going into this meet, nor had the times that they would have aimed for, but the heat was taking its toll on everyone and to be able to come out of this day healthy is the most important part!

Next up will be the Milaca Mega Meet next Saturday, which could be 25 degrees cooler!!! YESSS! lol!

Thanks for all of the support from the parents that were there today and also a big thanks to many of  our Boys from the C Race that helped with the wet cold towels and getting them to all of our runners as they finished!! It's great to see the care for our team and make sure all are able to feel better when they finish!

Thanks,
Denny
