Cloverleaf Results and Gilmour (Hogwarts) Info

Congratulations to the Junior Varsity squad on an impressive 1st place finish and the Varsity team on an excellent 2nd place finish among some fast competition!  Despite the messy, muddy, swampy conidtions everyone ran tough and did what they were supposed to do... get in front of people!  It's important to remember that in the sport of cross country time is not everything.... it has everything to do with PLACE!  We can use these rainy meets to remind ourselves of that!

Trophy Sleepover Winner: Carleigh Walter
Congratulations Carleigh on an outstanding 1st varsity race! It is very easy to get intimidated by the competition and even your teammates who have been there before, but you ran physically and mentally tough and we are so proud of you! Even with the messy conditions you did a nice job running consistently throughout and you should be very happy with where you finished on the team. Congratulations and keep up the hard work. We can’t wait to see how you do in your 2nd varsity race… now you’re an old pro!

Golden Spike Winners: Maggie Harter and Julie Norehad
Maggie Harter: Maggie ran a great race at Cloverleaf and looked strong the whole way! It was a tough day to run considering the conditions but Maggie didn’t let that slow her down, as she came very close to a season PR. She has been training very hard this season and after what we saw on Saturday we know the best is yet to come! Congratulations Maggie, keep it up and we know you will be happy with the results!
Julie Norehad: Julie is a machine! She tied her season PR in the mud and also had perfect splits… two very difficult things to do even on a dry course. This season Julie’s times have not varied more than :21 seconds at every race and if we get some better weather we know that her consistent times will turn into consistent time drops! Keep up the hard work Julie! We are very proud of what you have accomplished!
