It was a big weekend in many ways for the SJA cross country team as they traveled to Kettering, Ohio for the Midwest All-Catholic Championships. A classy, well-behaved, and focused group represented the school well both during the travels and in the race. An amazing 42 of 45 SJA runners earned a season's best (SB) or personal record (PR) at the meet. Those efforts earned the Jags a 6th place out of 14 in the varsity race and a 1st out of 12 in the reserve.
Pacing the Jags in the varsity race was senior captain Erin Gaffney, who ran a PR, finished 13th overall, and broke the 20 minute barrier for the first time ever with a 19:53. All of the varsity earned PR's or SB's...including Celine Mangan, Mary Kate Chambers, Jessica Sirchen, Maggie Boyer, Bridget Egan, and Rose Urankar.
In the reserve race Jaguars dominated the front scoring a low 27 points in the team race (63 for second) and taking 8 of the top 15 places overall. The top finisher in the reserve race for SJA was sophomore Melanie Ward, who ran a PR of 21:36 - good for 3rd overall.
