First meet in the books!
The Saint Joseph Academy cross country team began their season last Saturday finishing 2nd out of 19 teams at the Berkshire Early Bird Invitational. SJA finished just 11 points behind Chardon High School who took 3 of the top 4 spots in the race. The Jaguars didn't have the front runners, but they had the best depth as their 4th and 5th runners were better than any other school's.
Leading the way in 8th place overall was junior Rachel McGuire in a time of 20:52 and senior Emily Bauer (10th, 20:57). Next came senior captain Jill Bresnahan (17th, 21:32) and junior Alesha Vovk (18th, 21:34). The rest of the top 7 were senior Mel Ward (25th, 21:56), sophomore Mallory Fahey (26th, 21:57), and senior Jessica Bresnahan (28th, 22:10).
The team competes next weekend at the Westerville North Invitational.

Schedule for Week of August 27th
Hi all....couple quick updates then this week's schedule at the bottom (also on the website).
Today was our first meet and it seemed to go pretty well. When we left the hosts still didn't have the results done, so those aren't known yet. When I get them I'll post them on our team website www.sjaxc.blogspot.com
We've gotten a handful of parent requests for t-shirts like the girls have. We'll look at a second order next week.
We've had questions on how to pay for the variety of events coming up (again, I apologize for the costs. If there is a problem please get in touch with me).
t-shirt money - $8.00. Cash or check made out to ME and not to SJA.
canoe run money - $13.00 cash to be paid to Canal Fulton Livery http://cfcanoe.com/ when we get there.
hotel and food for next Friday night - $20.00 cash or check to SJA.
thanks!
