Ashland Invite Review

The Running Jags finished 6th of 19 teams at the Ashland Invitational. St. Joe's had a record 43 runners finish, of which 35 set personal records or season best times. In this, the second meet of the season, the Jaguars saw some new faces in the top 7 varsity. Senior Captain Erin Gaffney led the way with a 7th place finish in 20:11. Her time moves Erin into the SJA Top 20 all-time. Next to cross the line was junior Mary Kate Chambers. Sophomore Bridget Egan set a big personal record to finish as the 3rd SJA runner. Jessica Sirchen was 4th for SJA followed by Sam Riley, Rose Urankar, and Mel Ward to round out the varsity positions.
While not scored, the SJA second team was the best in the field as runners like Jessica Bresnahan, Rachel McGuire, Grace Harter, Helen Steve, and Maggie Boyer ran well enough to beat most team's varsities.
Next weekend the Jaguars go to Walsh Jesuit High School to battle against some of the better Division I teams in North East Ohio.
