Living up to its name, the Hot Summer Bash cross country meet in Hilliard, Ohio brought temps well into the 80's. For the Jaguars, they kept things heated up by placing in the top 2 in all three races they competed in. The varsity team finished second overall to host Hilliard Davidson, ranked 4th in the state, while also defeating 3 other ranked teams in the process. Leading the team was freshman Maggie Wagner, who was 5th overall with a time of 20:02. Seniors Rachel McGuire and Alesha Vovk were close behind in 8th and 11th place. Finishing the scoring for SJA were junior Mallory Fahey and sophomore Bridget McGuire.
In the 9th/10th grade race, SJA were the winners. The top 5 scorers for the Jags were led by 4 freshmen; Olivia Battistoni (2nd overall), Mary Hyland (4th), Alana Vovk (7th), Katie Pelegrino (16th), and sophomore Corinne Baker (18th).
In the 11th/12th grade open race, heat conditions forced the race to be cut to just 2 miles instead of 5k. The Jaguars overcame the heat to finish 2nd overall led to the line senior Molly Moore. The pack of Maeve Kroeger ('14), Clare Fibbi ('15), and Shannon Stauffer ('14) finished 10th-12th place. The final scorer was newcomer Karley Mullins ('14).
The athlete of the meet was Alana Vovk who took almost 2 full minutes off her time from last week and helped the 9th/10th grade team win their race.
Next week the Jags travel to the fast and prestigious Tiffin Carnival.
