Hot weather, great racing at Jesse Owens
Small girls team runs well, boys place 2nd out of 45 teams.
Heading back to the same course that the teams raced four weeks ago, the expectations for a great day were understandably high. Little did we know that the early morning fog would quickly vaporize, leaving a day significantly hotter than a month ago. That, of course, did not dissuade the Tigers!
Due to a wide variety of conflicts, only three girls started the race - a small but mighty group. Madeleine Wiseman stayed right at the front of the race, gutting out a great sixth place finish (out of 379 runners!), tying her PR on a day when she didn’t feel her best. Jackie Seale also PRed in 66th place and Adelaide Ritter ran her best time of the season as well.
A whole lot of boys (over 20) took the line when it was significantly hotter (feels like 85F during the race), and Jack Fruin and Drew Zwerner led the USN parade, both running PRs and finishing in 9th and 10th out of a colossal field of 525 runners. Moving up the field throughout the race. Griffin Davidson and Caleb Freifeld both cracked the top 40, with Clay Payne and Caleb Little not far behind. Those performances at the front helped the Tigers place 2nd in a field of 45 teams. Behind them, there were a number of impressive runs, notably from Wright Bergesen, Morgan McAteer, Finch Fleming, and “twin” PRs from Christopher and Jacob Nichols, among many others.
The teams will get back to hard work before Fall Break, then have a tuneup race when we return before focusing on the Region championship on October 29th.
