The day before the Ashland Invitational news came out that some new teams were going to be joining the field at the Ashland Invitational. The additional talent only added to the heat of the day as some early season battles shaped up.
While hoping to knock off some ranked teams, the Jaguars ended up 5th place out of 11 complete squads in the large school division. All 4 teams that beat SJA are pre-season ranked in the top 20 in the state.
For the second week in a row the first three runners were Mary Kate Chambers (sr./15th place), Rachel McGuire (so./17th place), and Jessica Sirchen (sr./23rd place). Rounding out the scoring for SJA was 4th runner Alesha Vovk (so./30th place) and Bridget Egan (jr./33rd place). Next week's varsity squad was determined by the 6th and 7th placings on the team of Sam Riley (sr./38th place) and Jessica Bresnahan (jr./45th place).
While not a scored event, it doesn't take too much in the math department to figure the JV scores by hand. SJA CLEARLY had the best JV team in the race getting it's 5 runners in before all but one other school had ANY runners in.
On a hot day we give special notice to the 4 girls who ran personal bests - all are first year runners - Mallory Fahey, Clare Fibbi, Maureen Borden, and Melyssa Jackson. Great job, girls!
Next week the team makes the trip to Tiffin for one of the largest invitationals in the whole country the Tiffin Carnival!
