What a great day Saturday turned out to be. We were all expecting rain, but the sun turned out to be a huge blessing with the exception of it being so hot. This past weeks practices were the toughest they have been all year so to go out and do as well as they did was really good. As good as we are doing now we look to do much better and have an even better meet this coming Saturday at Spanish River.
Thanks to everyone who did such an outstanding job making yesterday a success. We had 28 teams and over 500 athletes. There were also some good articles written in today's Sun-Sentinel and Miami-Herald. I never thought we would have more written about our parents/coaches then our athletes. Great job John Rickel, Ken Key and Layna Roycraft. Thanks also to Suzie Hess and everyone that helped make the family BBQ a great time. It was great to just be able to relax and enjoy everyone's fellowship.
The Meet
Overall the girls had a very strong showing and finished 5th out of 16 teams. Even better was that they were the 2nd 1A school to finish, 1st in our District and 2nd out of the schools in our Region. Layna had a great day running her Personal Best for our course, 21:22, and finishing 3rd, 1st among 1A runners. Running 2-4 for us were Kara, Emily and Circe who have continued to push themselves and provide the bulk of our strength. But continuing to come on strong is Kayla Cochran. For the 2nd meet in a row she ran a Personal Best time, 25:37, to run in the #5 spot. Overall she has improved 1:23 so far this season. Not only that but she also passed up 2 key girls at the end, one being a Pine Crest runner which was the difference in why we beat them 149 to 151. The other outstanding performance went to Ali Battista who ran a Personal Best by 2:31 to finish in 27:15.
The boys showed that no matter how tired they were they were still going to go out and try their hardest. They did and had to fight through to manage a 12th place finish. Not the type of finish they were looking for, but all the hard work they are putting in now is going to pay off later in the season when places count the most. The boys were led by Christian Wackes, 20:08, and followed by teammates Teddy, Michael, Josh and Dylan. Outstanding performances were turned in by Michael Luzinski who stepped into the #3 spot with a season best time of 21:53. Timmy Moses continues to get stronger and turned in another Personal Best, 23:01, dropping 1:18 off his time from Monday's meet.
