Another job well done, ladies!  Both JV and Varsity took first place and Maggie Harter cruised to a victory in the Open Race!  We know you were worried about that hill in the second mile… but you definitely showed it who was boss!!  If you look at the times, you’ll notice they are not too far from your Tiffin times, which is truly amazing.  We are so proud of you!  We were 11th on last week’s poll…. Where will we be this week?

AL Results & Tiffin Info

Congrats on 3 great races at the AL Earlybird Invite! Despite the heat and humidity you really pulled through!  Having to run up that wonderful man made hill not once, but twice, sure is a challenge, but you guys handled it very well- it’s nothing compared to the Mohican hill, right?!  Varsity came in 2nd overall (to the D1 State Champs!), and JV came in 5th.  We couldn’t be more proud of you girls!  You put Bay Village on the map this week... wait and see our name crawl up that poll!

Golden Spike Winners:  
Katie Galang - Congratulations to KATIE GALANG for a great race and lifetime PR this week!  Katie was added to our JV team last minute and really rose to the occasion.  She dropped 41 seconds from her previous time.  We know that time is going to keep dropping, Katie!  We are so happy to have you on our team this year!

Mary Woods – Way to go MARY WOODS!  Dropping almost 1:30 in any race is tough enough but with the heat and conditions on Saturday you did something incredible!  You have been working so hard in practice and all the hard work has definitely paid off!  Can’t wait to see what you can do in some cooler conditions and on a faster course!  Congrats!

Trophy Sleepover Winner - Varsity Race Champion, Maddie Britton! You ran a smart race and had a strong kick in the end. Your hard work is definitely paying off! So proud of you Maddie!
