Results for yesterday's Griak can be found at the following site:
www.gophersports.com/sports/m-xc/spec-rel/roy-griak-invitational-results.html We were in the Maroon Divisions for the high school races.
Our individual results for yesterday as well as from Friday are on the right side of our page.
Many positives from Friday's race despite only two teams in the JV race. 10 of the 13 girls running JV ran personal bests and we ended up with 6 of the top 7 overall finishers, including race winner Ali Hedlund. The boys did nearly as well with 4 of the top 7 and overall race winner Reed Smith. The Middle School boys also placed well, despite not having enough for a team score and were led by 2nd place finisher Isaac Johnson.
As for Saturday, the course and the competition were much more difficult, the boys led the way with both Nathan Mueggenberg and Paul Breitbach finished in the top 40 out of 485 runners. The girls may not have looked as though they finished well, but most of the girls ran faster than they did a few weeks ago in our first meet and were focusing mostly on getting the first mile figured, which most did. It's a new race strategy that they girls need to learn with switching to 5k's, so it will take time, but they are improving.
This week will be the Swain Invite on Saturday in Duluth. I will be posting info on this meet in a couple of days.
Any questions, please let me know,
Thanks
Denny
