A solid afternoon on a course that has always been a little slower, but it was an opportunity for our team to work on being a little more patient at the beginning as well as challenging themselves on the last 2 miles.
The Middle School runners started the day off in a bang, with Tate just missing the win to finish in 2nd by a second and Truman coming in 3rd in the Boys race. Faith also finished in 2nd on the girls side.
The Varsity runners showed the most patience on the day and then really fought hard to move up. On the Girls side, Ruby was able to pass a number of girls as she was able to gain 3rd place overall. With the Boys, they went from being dead last to 3 boys in the top 10, led by Lachlan in 4th, Kjell in 7th and Owen in 9th and despite finishing in 3rd, still had a chance to win the team title with a mile to go.
On the JV side, both teams showed a lot of improvements from the first meet of the year with the JV Girls winning with all 6 girls in the top 10 led by Emily in 4th, Emmy in 5th, Kaylee in 6th and Casey in 7th. Tythe gained a 10th place finish on the Boys side to lead an improved group.
Next up is the Osecola Invite next Saturday, Sep 16. Details will be posted later this week.
Lastly, Monday is the deadline to purchase the team shirts, whether you are a runner, parent or fan! Check out the previous post for a link.
