JV team defeats Mentor at Edgewater Park

The JV cross country runners took on the JV team from Mentor today at a very windy Edgewater Park in a meet hosted by St. Ignatius. This meet was the tie-breaker between the two teams at Mentor got the best of SJA at McDonough, but SJA got revenge at Gilmour. The Jags took 11 of the top 17 spots to dominate the meet by a score of 24-35. Leading the way for the squad was freshman Alesha Vovk who ran a personal record of 21:45, which earned 2nd place overall in the race. She was followed to the line by Jessica Bresnahan, Emily Bauer, Grace Harter, and Maggie Boyer who finished 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th respectively to round out the top 5 scoring.

Also earning PR's on a tough day were freshmen Molly Moore, Annie Grove, and Courtney Catherine plus sophomore Regina Russo. Senior Lauren Peplin chipped in a season best and Julia Swit completed her first race marking all 51 girls on the team competing this year.

Next up for SJA is the district meet this Saturday at Edgewater park at 4:05. The JV wrap up their season next Monday at Walsh Jesuit.
