Excellent Weekend of Racing

The team was split between 2 meets this weekend. The Varsity and top JV runners (10 in all) travelled to the University of Minnesota to compete in the national class Roy Griak Invite.

On an extremely challenging course, Zach Temple (22), Truman White (62), Liam Culp (78), Eli Pettit (82), and Jonah Simonson (136) lead the scoring.

The remainder of the team competed in large and highly competitive Midwest Invite in Janesville. The Varsity finished 25’TH in a 48 team field. They were lead by Luke O’Neil (108), Basil Keck (122), Hank Hegeman (144), Clay Elmore (157) and Walt Strange (167).

Solid Racing Across the Board at Marquette

Great Job at Grade Level Meet

The team had another solid day at the Big 8 Grade Level Meet at Lake Farm Park. The scoring format for this meet varies from most meets. Each runner is ranked against others in their grade only. Our top 7 places make up our score. This frequently gives some of the younger team members the direct opportunity to contribute to team scoring. Full results are linked on our result page. The boys finished 2’ND just 1 point behind LaFollette. Scoring for the team were: Hunter Shadman (#2 Freshman), Jonah Simonson (#3 Junior), Walt Strange (#4 Freshman), Owne Cooney (#6 Freshman), Peter Negrut (#6 Junior), Henry Johnson (#6 Senior), and Danny Hegeman (#7 Freshman). Well done all!!
