This weekend the Jags went with the annual split squad, sending the top 7 to Portage, MI while the JV took on the field at Medina. While both cities received rain all day Friday, almost magically the Portage course came out unscathed while the Medina course was a mudfest.
The second 7 for SJA ran as the varsity at the Medina meet and got a good taste of how the best teams run. At that level everybody runs hard from the gun, and our girls found that out the hard way. Hopefully it will be a valuable lesson to help them in future races. As a team, the girls finished 14th of 19 teams. The JV learned a similar lesson getting 8th of 11 teams.
In the second city, 5 girls notched lifetime PR's, and another had a season's best. In what amounted to the Michigan State Meet (8 of top 13 Michigan teams in the race!), SJA finished a respectable 13th of 39 teams. Leading the way for SJA was Jessica Sirchen in a PR of 19:33. Gab Kreuz was next with a PR of 19:38. Following them was Celine Mangan (PR 20:18), Maggie Harter (PR 20:39), Maggie Boyer (PR 20:40), Erin Gaffney (SB 20:41), and Tay Whisler (21:22)
