The Gilmour Invitational last Friday, September 26, was a great way for our team to end a long school week! Our varsity team ran at 5:30pm and finish 6th team overall in the Division I race, with 151 points. Top finishers for the varsity team were Amanda Cusimano (5th) in 20:05 and Abby Christel right behind her in 9th (20:40).
Our Open runners finished 4th overall as a team, and were lead to the finish by Hailey Russell. Hailey was 3rd overall in the Open race with a time of 22:36. In the open race, we had 4 runners set lifetime best finish times! They are: Natalie Rezek (24:09), Tera Vangelos (24:35), Ellie Frey (25:07), and Delaney Bly (27:01). Congratulations to all of these girls!
We hope that everyone enjoyed their first "free" Saturday since the summer! Remember that our girls do not race again until the WSC Championship on October 4 at Cahoon. More info to come on that soon.

Strongsville Invitational
Our girls ran well this past Saturday at the Strongsville Invitational! The weather was much better than last year's rain storm, although it was a little warmer than the girls were used to running in for the past week. Despite this, our varsity team placed 10th overall out of 27 teams (Bay along with Chagrin Falls were the only two DII teams racing). Our top finishers for the varsity were Amanda Cusimano, who finish 10th (out of 228) with a time of 19:16, and Abby Christel, who finished 11th with a time of 19:48. Also for the varsity, Olivia Bechtel finished 68th (21:11), Maddie Voiers finished 102nd (21:55), and Aubrey Crabb rounded out our top 5 with a 129th place finish and a time of 22:29.
All finish times are updated in the links to the right.
The week we have Saturday off (!!) and will race instead on Friday, September 26, at Gilmour Academy. There will be more information coming to you soon, but the bus will leave the school at 2:30 that afternoon, and the races will be at 5:30 (varsity--9 runners) and 6:30 (open). Hope to see you all there!
Go Rockets!

Spartan Invitational at Boardman
The girls had a good showing this morning at the Spartan Invitational. While our varsity team was missing a few of it's members due to the ACT test, they managed to walk away with 6th place team. We had the opportunity to run 10 girls in the varsity race today, who all did a nice job: Amanda Cusimano, Abby Christel, Olivia Bechtel, Hailey Russell, Aubrey Crabb, Christina Kinkelaar, Katie Galang, Emma Smith, Mia Russell, and Olivia Brahler.
For the entire team, we had SEVEN girls walk away from today with shiny new lifetime PR's (many of these girls were some of the 9 that set a PR last week at Tiffin!). They are Aubrey Crabb (22:21), Natalie Rezek (24:19), Tera Vangelos (24:45), Sofie Wallace (26:37), Delaney Bly (27:33), Kara Gillespie (27:38), and Anna Walker (29:55). Congratulations to all of these girls!
The team times/results will be uploaded on to this site tomorrow afternoon--Coach Aldrich is heading out of town this evening for a race tomorrow, so she will take care of that when she returns. Great work today to all of the girls! Rest up and Coaches Snyder and Aldrich will see you on Monday!

Avon Lake Earlybird and Tiffin This Weekend!
To start-- Congratulations are in order for our girls, who won the Maroon Division at the Avon Lake Early-bird Invitational this past weekend out at LCCC! Coach Aldrich apologizes for getting this post up so late...but if you've ever been a first year teacher before, you understand how busy she is!
We had a great showing last weekend, despite the high temperatures and humidity. Our varsity team came out on top with 96 points, edging past Magnificat with 102 points, and Rocky River with 105. Our top three runners for varsity finished in the top 15 overall--these girls are Amanda Cusimano (2nd) 20:20, Abby Christel (10th) 21:14 and Olivia Bechtel (15th) 21:32. In the open race (despite it being 10 degrees warmer than the varsity race!) our girls showed very well again! Our top three runners in the open race, with strong times were Katie Galang (12th) 24:03, Aubrey Crabb (21) 24:39, and Christina Kinkelaar (23) 24:41. Great work to all of our girls! (All times can be found in the links at the right).
This upcoming weekend is one of the team's favorites: Tiffin Carnival! Some logistics that have been shared with the girls all week, and will be shared again and again before Saturday, are that the bus LEAVES the high school at 5am. Yes, 5:00 in the morning. Girls, if you are not morning people, set multiple alarms, ask your parents to come in and make sure you are awake, etc. We cannot wait around for you at the school if you are awake. There will be a long enough bus ride out there that you can rest on the bus. For the meet, the coaches would recommend, (in addition to making sure you have your spikes, uniform, etc.), bringing money for snacks/shirts, some sort of snack/lunch since we will not be getting back to Bay until later in the afternoon, warm and dry clothes (it looks like it might rain!), and a water bottle.
This weekend, the Open race will be run at 8:30, and our varsity runners will race at 10:35. We hope to see a lot of parents and support come out to cheer us on at such a great event!
There will be order forms sent home with the girls on Thursday for team spirit gear (long sleeved shirt, sweat shirt, and sweat pants). Please fill these out and return them to your senior captains ASAP.
Great work so far this week, girls. And good luck at Tiffin!
