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.
