Last night the cross country teams traveled to Stockbridge to compete in the large school division of their invitational where there were ten teams competing . The results were fantastic, the boys team finished first beating out Fowlerville by 2 points. Then in the girls race we finished 7th with a few of our girls not running, so 7th may not sound all that great to some but Coach Jordon was very excited about how those that ran did. Here are some individual highlights.
Jonathan Mikovits finished in second place with his fastest time of the season, Joe Bulko was sixth with his fastest time ever, Logan Barrett was 9th also with his fastest time ever, Luke Holton was 20th with his fastest time ever, Adair Artis ran his fastest time ever by over 30 seconds to finish 27th, Isaac Waldron was under 19 minutes for the first time ever, Chuckie King ran his personnel best by 22 seconds, Cole Thompson ran his best time of the season, Nolan Korman ran his fastest ever by 52 seconds, Jimmy Franssen ran out of his mind breaking his best time ever by a minute 25, Connor Keefer ran his fastest time of the season, and Gavin Adams broke is personnel best by 57 seconds. Just a perfect night to run and they all took advantage of that.
Then in the girls race the results were filled with huge races also. As Skylar Thompson finished second with a season best time, Riley Adams ran under 23 minutes for the first time ever and in doing so also broke her fastest time ever by a minute 30, Natalie Sharp ran her fastest time of the season by 50 seconds, Nichelle Smith ran a new record by over a minute, Kiara Ozuzu ran 48 seconds faster then she had ever run, Haylie Kowalski had her best race of the season and saving the biggest improvement for last was Jasmin McCabe who smashed her previous best race by one minute fifty five seconds. Congratulations to all of our Yellowjacket runners as they stepped up and really performed against some really great competition. On Monday we host Union City and on Thursday we travel to Homer.
Tomorrow's football game against Union City will at 11:00 am and will be livestreamed at https://youtu.be/2Oq_sGIBSlg
