Tiffin Recap & McDonough Information

10th Place at Tiffin!

We had a successful and exciting day at the Tiffin Carnival.  The varsity team ran to a 10th place finish in the girls Division I A race among some very fast competition....the best in the state!  Tiffin is the second largest xc meet in the nation... so again you should be very proud of what you accomplished among the best of the best! 


Finishing 1st for the team was sophomore Maddie Britton (19:39 - 25th Place), followed by sophomore teammate Hallie Bechtel who once again had a strong finish crossing the line at 20:01.  Maddie Voiers finished third for the team, turning in a season and lifetime best time of 20:22.  Hanna Sterle (20:47) and Alyse Arko (21:15) were 4th and 5th for the team respectively and both made significant moves in the final 400 yards of the race to get in front of critical competitors.  Finishing in 6th for the team was Andrea Hanna with a season PR of 22:10 followed by Maggie Harter with another season PR of 22:47, graet job ladies! The average time for the team was the fastest this season at 20:25 and we hope to continue this streak of success on Saturday!


Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate with us, and the open race was cancelled.  Thank you again to all the girls scheduled to run that race, your patience and understanding was greatly appreciated! 


Varsity runners, please check results posted to the right for splits!


GOLDEN SPIKE WINNER!

Maddie Voiers: Maddie had a great week of training and ran to a HUGE lifetime PR!  As the lone freshman representative on the varsity squad Maddie showed strength and courage in a VERY competitive meet.  She even had a smile on for part of the race ; )  This is the beginning of a great career of fast running Maddie!  We are so impressed with what you have done so far, now keep it up!!!
