Granite City Invitaitonal
A special thanks to all parents who helped with the cookout/picnic after the race. We have lucky athletes!
Congratulations to the girls for their performance at the Granite City Invitational on Saturday, September 6th. The JV girls finished in second place as a team while the Varsity girls finished in 5th place.
Freshman Courtney Lybarger and Briana Chamberlain stepped up big and performed great in their first varsity race at the high school level! Senior Courtney Smith finished with a 12th place medal. The girls ran well as a pack and will contiue to improve throughout the season. I know the Freshman will continue to improve as they adjust to the three mile distance and gain confidence at the high school level. I also know that the older girls will improve once they get more race experience and additional mileage.
Kayla Dowell ran a great race in the JV division with a third place individual finish. Freshman Courtney McCarty and Katie Speicher ran great times in the JV race (this was their first big inviational at the high school level). These two girls aslo received medals for finishing in 18th and 22nd places respectively, great job girls! Juniors Megan Ruddy and Emily Firsching finished with 10th and 11th place medals while posting great times. Diane Frese also medaled in the JV race with her 12th place finish. Senior Abbey Frese agreed to run the JV race only 35 minutes before race time and finished with a 26th place medal, thanks for filling in Abbey!
Everyone ran great in the open race! I am proud of you girls! You are improving and will continue to improve. Sierra Goldsmith, Breanna Schuett and Laurin Wright all ran impressive times under 22:00.
Girls - Thankyou for cheering on your teammates during their races.
