Results for last nights Blaine Invite can be found on Raceberryjam. Our individual results can be found under our Results page.
Positive night of running, despite the rain. The Varsity finished 1st in the White division and would have been 8th in the Blue division, thus 8th out of 31 teams, which is big step forward for this group of runners. Looking back at results from last year at this race, which was similar temps and not as wet, many have moved way up and are making the team more competitive, which is a huge positive with the number of runners we lost from last year!
6 of the 7 varsity runners got into the medals yesterday, with one missing by 1 second. This was the first time that many of these runners had to be front runners in a 5K race, and they held their own. It is possible that they would have run faster if they were in the faster division, but this is a step we needed to take and to prove to the boys that they can run well from the front.
Many in the JV race also showed improvements. 9 of the 15 racers for the Cardinals ran personal bests, thus making the team stronger as we get closer to the end of the season. Tough conditions on a soft course, and they are still showing improvements!
And not to forget the youngest members of the team, the Middle Schoolers are also showing improvements, thus making the future of the team a bit brighter. They did not combine the two that run for us with Coon Rapids MS team, but had they, they would have finished tied for 6th as a team. It's a program that we hope to keep growing and one that is starting to perform well.
Any questions on anything, please let me know,
Thanks
Denny
