Yesterday proved to be a day to show us some very important points about our team. The girls stepped up and had a very good day. Almost all the girls ran their 1st mile slower but came on after that to run considerably faster than Tuesday's meet. The girls finished 2nd overall, just 7 points behind a very good Miami Country Day team. They were led by Layna Roycraft who ran her fastest 5K since 9th grade year, 21:01, to win the meet. Overall the girls had 5 Personal Bests and 4 Season Bests. The other outstanding performance for the meet went to Nathalie Grosz-Tenger who dropped 5:46 from Tuesday to finish in the #5 spot with a time of 25:42. (Pictured is 8th grader Circe Burnett.)
The boys are getting better, but we have a long way to go. The good thing is that we have more than enough time to build everyone's intensity and passion to race. The boys were led by Christian Wackes who ran a strategically sound race, consistency in the first two miles and faster in the last mile. He finished 4th overall with a time of 19:30. The other outstanding performances went to Mark Newsom and Dylan Burns. Dylan ran a great race, 22:04, just 3 seconds off his Personal Best to run in the #4 spot. Mark ran in the #7 spot and had another Personal Best time taking off 1:25 from Tuesday's meet and a total of 2:16 off his best from last year to finish with a time of 22:41.
