We took 5 girls and 9 boys to the sub-section meet at Frogtown today. Although the chance of earning a team qualification into the section championships may have been slim, the theme of the day was "building for the future," since every runner we brought should return next year.
The girls were the first up today. And well, they began their race about 20 min early ...they ran the first 800m in the race before theirs--really. Fortunately we saw them and made them stop. They were able to regroup, catch their breath, and run decent races. Sierra would lead the way, placing 30th and earning a spot in next week's section championship. Natalie and Rocio would see-saw back and forth through the entire race and finish within seconds of each other near the middle of the pack. Katie, who hasn't raced in months, would tough out a very solid race. Abby completed the scoring with another great race. As a team they finished 13th out of the 20 full teams. Their combine time of 1:55:55 soundly beat last year's team's time of 2:05:00 by about 9 minutes. GREAT JOB LADIES!
30-Durham 20:24
98-Franco 23:17
100-Ramirez-Castro 23:27 (improved her time on this course by 1:57)
109-Scheder 24:00
127-Homan 24:50
The boys hit the course next. Andrew ran near the back of the lead pack in about 20-30th for the first two miles, and then he seemed to run out of gas. He would still be Downey's first finisher and improve his time on this course by a lot. Pierson ran a strong race, finishing in the middle of the pack. David had a huge effort edging out Guadalupe and Kenji. The rest of the boys all had solid races to build on for next season. As a team they improved 5:16 over their combined time on the same course earlier in the year, and they beat the time of last year's team by 9:20!
