Full Team Dinner Friday night - families invited!!
(from the Kreuz family)
Hello XC families,
Friday night's team dinner will be at the Kreuz household. The girls should have gotten the word from Gab that the dinner is not just for the girls running Saturday, but at her insistence, the whole team. Patrick Dunn (Molly's dad) is cooking for us and Marianne Mangan is also helping put this feast together.
We would like to extend the invitation to all of the parents to join us as well. Hopefully our season lasts through November 7"th. Even so, SJA XC will come to an end very soon for the Kreuz's and we will miss all of you very much. Thank you for being a part of what has been a great addition to our lives.

Monday, practice at Edgewater to become familiar with the district course.

Friday, Oct 23 - Regular pre-meet day...meeting, 30min run, striders. Team dinner at Kreuz's

A good muddy day at Sim Earich
The SJA CC team showed up ready to perform on a muddy Fairgrounds course at the Sim Earich Invitational. In a meet that seems to always treat the Jags well, the girls started off with a solid run in the JV race by taking 8 of the top 12 places. Pacing the way for SJA was senior Colleen Meder who ran a PR of 22:30. As a team the JV won over Magnificat, Walsh, Beaumont, and many other schools. 1st/7 teams
The varsity ran their race as a workout, keeping all 6 girls together for the entire muddy run as they save their efforts for next Saturday's district meet at Edgewater Park.

Tale of Two Cities
This weekend the Jags went with the annual split squad, sending the top 7 to Portage, MI while the JV took on the field at Medina. While both cities received rain all day Friday, almost magically the Portage course came out unscathed while the Medina course was a mudfest.
The second 7 for SJA ran as the varsity at the Medina meet and got a good taste of how the best teams run. At that level everybody runs hard from the gun, and our girls found that out the hard way. Hopefully it will be a valuable lesson to help them in future races. As a team, the girls finished 14th of 19 teams. The JV learned a similar lesson getting 8th of 11 teams.
In the second city, 5 girls notched lifetime PR's, and another had a season's best. In what amounted to the Michigan State Meet (8 of top 13 Michigan teams in the race!), SJA finished a respectable 13th of 39 teams. Leading the way for SJA was Jessica Sirchen in a PR of 19:33. Gab Kreuz was next with a PR of 19:38. Following them was Celine Mangan (PR 20:18), Maggie Harter (PR 20:39), Maggie Boyer (PR 20:40), Erin Gaffney (SB 20:41), and Tay Whisler (21:22)
