Clay Eagle Recap

 

This past weekend the Running Jags woke up early to make the trip west to Oregon, OH to run in the Clay Eagle Invitational.  After winning the meet last year, the team had the goal of coming back to defend their title in dominant fashion, which they did. 

In the varsity race the Jags scored just 29 points to Anthony Wayne’s 75 to win going away.  Junior Ali Blouch led the team with a solid 2^nd place performance and witnessed sophomore Grace Rowell finish as the team’s 2^nd runner for the first time ever with a 6^th place overall result.  Seniors Carlee Blankenship (9^th), Anna Duesenberg (11^th) and Emma Hvizdos (12^th) sandwiched sophomore Erin Hvizdos (10^th).  Freshman Addy McGee finished as the Jags 7^th runner in 14^th place.

In the JV race, the result was even more lopsided as the Jags scored just 23 points behind top ten performances from Anna Khuri (2^nd), Erin Hyland (3^rd), Rachel Garlock (5^th), Alexia Wenzel (6^th), Susie McGowan (7^th), and Kate Boland (10^th).

For this meet, the Jags voted 2 athletes as runners of the meet; Grace Rowell and sophomore Abeany Dek. 

Next week the Jags have a split squad as varsity travels to Portage, Michigan for the prestigious Portage Invite.  The rest of the team will be staying local at the Medina Invitational.

Go Jags!
