Congratulations to Peyton on qualifying for the Minnesota State Meet that will be next Saturday at St. Olaf College! Peyton finished in a solid 8th place overall and added his name to the Coon Rapids Sub-17:00 Club, moving into 42nd All-Time! Peyton also helped lead the Boys to a solid 5th place finish, moving up from 8th place last year!
The Girls were led by Ruby who finished in 16th place overall, just a few places out of qualifying for State herself, becoming just the fourth Cardinal to break 20 minutes in a 5K and is now 3rd overall in Cardinal History. (3200m and 4K's were the Girls distance prior to 2015). The Girls team finished in 8th place, but ran a 17 second faster average than last year.
On the JV side, Justin and Tythe finished 1 second apart to help lead the Boys to an 11th place finish out of the 13 teams there and Hannah finished in 25th to lead the Girls to an 8th place finish.
All of our individual times are now posted, along with links to the Overall Results as well as an updated Season Bests list. On the day, 31 All Time Personal Records with an additional 4 Season Bests were set out of the 41 Cardinal Runners that raced today!
Great work to everyone today! It was a huge positive to see everyone competing at their bests and to see the improvements as a team, even if some times individual or team placings don't always show it. We have opportunities to grow, and it is something that we will continue to do what we can to improve everyone!
We will be meeting after school tomorrow, Friday, to do team voting and discuss a few items.
Thanks to all of those that were able to come out and watch and support the runners today!!
Denny
