Going into the McDonough Invitational in Cleveland Hts the Jaguars knew the first group racing on the day was going to set the tone for the rest of the day, and what a tone they set! The JV team was on the schedule first and they did not disappoint as they took 5 of the top 8 places in the race and won the team division with a low score of 23 points. Breaking the tape first for SJA was senior Caitlin Nagy, who won the first race of her career. Behind Cait was freshman Mallory Fahey in 3rd, junior Jill Bresnahan 4th, sr. Maggie Boyer in 7th, and sophomore Maddie Zimmerman in 8th. Grace Harter rounded out the JV crew in 23rd place.
Next was the open race which saw junior Emily Bauer challenge for first place during the early stages of the race but eventually settled for a solid 2nd place out of 173 runners. Many of the open runners set season bests on the soft, muddy, hilly course.
Ending the day for SJA was the varsity race which featured over 6 of the best teams in Northeast Ohio. The jags had a shaky start, but worked their way up through the pack to the very last stride and snuck in a surprising 2nd place out of 15 teams. The Jags were once again led to the trophy by senior captain Mary Kate Chambers in 12th place. Jess Sirchen was close behind in 14th, with Rachel McGuire 18th, Bridget Egan 26th, and Alesha Vovk in 29th place to round out the scoring.
