Medina and Portage recap

 This past weekend the cross country team split the squad, with the majority of the crew running locally at Medina, while the top 7 made the annual trip to the Portage Invitational near Kalamazoo, MI. 

 

At Medina, the varsity squad finished 14th out of 26 teams in a very competitive field.  They were led to the line by sophomore Keira Leneghan, who ran a PR and broke the 21 minute barrier for the first time.  Sarah Scott (’23), Anna Khuri (’23), Rachel Garlock (’24), and Alexia Wenzel (’23) rounded out the scoring for the Jags.  In the open race, SJA finished 6th of 21 teams, showing off the depth of the team.  Captain Morgan Rudolph was the first finisher for the Jags, earning 26th place overall.

 

In Michigan, the varsity squad face 7 of the top 10 teams from Michigan in a large field, finishing 14th out of 35 schools.  Ali Blouch was first for the Jags with a time if 19:14, just one second off her PR.  Sophomore Grace Rowell ran another PR and finished second for the Jags in 20:00.  Seniors Anna Duesenberg, Emma Hvizdos, and Carlee Blankenship were the other scorers for the Jags.
