As with any team in any season great anticipation comes with the first actual competition and for the runners on the SJA cross country team the first meet exceeded almost all hopes.
Running for the third year at Berkshire's Early Bird Invitational SJA finished a solid 2nd place just 8 points behind the winning team from Chardon. Setting the tone for the first meet was a strong three-some of Rachel McGuire (so) in 6th place, Mary Kate Chambers (sr) 7th place, and Jessica Sirchen (sr) in 9th place. To round out the scoring the Jags took 16th place by Bridget Egan (jr) and 22nd place Emily Bauer (jr). The rest of the team finished strong as well as the second team would have finished 9th in the 16 team varsity field.
Competing and finishing in their very first ever high school cross country races were freshmen Mallory Fahey, Lauren Marconi, Audrianna Farris, Clare Fibbi, Maureen Borden, and Erin McGinty. Also competing for the first time were sophomore Mary Kelley, juniors Melyssa Jackson and Ashley Klimczyk, and senior Kristina Jackson. Congrats to all! Next week the cc team will be competing at the Ashland Invitational.
