Congratulations to the Fresh/Soph team and their third place victory at the Roy Gummerson Invitational!!!!  We had three girls in the top ten!  Sara in 5th, Stephanie in 6th and Olivia in 9th!!  This is the best the girls have ever done in the team's history! Despite the very windy conditions and soft ground, there were many impressive times over last year at the same meet.  It goes to show you how much one year of training can do for you as an athlete! 

Roy Gummerson Results

We had another great meet!!  At the JV level, we had a perfect score against Wheeling!!!  We had six runners come through the chute before Wheeling had one.  Beatriz Perez came in first!  We now have two first places at the JV level (Autumn Carney) and one at the varsity level (Jeanne McCormick).   The girls were very impressive and to cap off their victory, the girls ran an all out mile on the track minutes after the race.  We had huge improvements over the mile time trial at the beginning of the season!!! In the Elk Grove vs Wheeling dual, we almost had a perfect score Wheeling at the varsity level.  The score was 17 to 43.  At this meet we had 24 lifetime personal bests!!!!

The Fenton Invitational was a HUGE success!  We had 8 girls in front of our number two from last year’s Fenton Invite.  There were over 18 lifetime personal records out of 24 runners!!!! Even though we had an incredibly tough week of practice and the heat was overwhelming, we still had a huge improvement over last year!  This just shows how important running over the summer is! We are on the road to a great season!  I am incredibly proud of all of you and the work you have done this season!
