After a festive day for Freshmen Welcome, the SJA cross country welcomed themselves to some fast times at the Gilmour Invitational on Friday, October 1st.
The day started with the varsity using their race as a workout running as a group of 7 for over a mile before picking up the pace on the second half of the race. Even with that strategy 2 runners, Jessica Sirchen and Maggie Boyer still ran season bests - just 2 of 7 season bests on the day. The team still managed a 5th place finish in a competitive 15 team field. Next week the varsity will be racing in the prestigious Portage Invitational in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
The JV team continued their dominance from last week with a 1st place team finish and a low score of just 23 points. 12 of the first 24 finishers in the race were Jaguars! In all, there were 19 PR's set in this race. Finishing first overall in the race was Sophomore Emily Bauer who ran a personal record by 30 seconds. For her effort Emily earned the Jaguar of the Week award in a close vote over junior Kayley Dunn who finished 15th overall with a 2 minute PR of 22:22. Also in the top ten were freshman Rachel McGuire (PR, 3rd), Sr. Grace Harter (SB, 4th), frosh Alesha Vovk (PR, 7th), soph Jess Bresnahan (8th), and soph Helen Steve (9th)
