In an effort to get the JV and open runners an extra race to make up for the "storm out" at Tiffin, SJA traveled to the Open Door Christian Academy Invitational on Tuesday September 20th to compete in a low key small race. While sitting out the top 15 runners, SJA's "C" team still competed well against 6 other school's varsity programs and nearly pulled off the win losing only to West Geauga (see the big trophy on the homepage).
Freshman Lauren Marconi was top finisher in 5th place for the Jags with a big PR of 22:30. Following Lauren to the line in all season best times were Maddie Miller, Ashley Klimczyk, Molly Moore, Colleen Kramer, Sara Hurley, and Maddy Lanning.
SJA's depth and dominance were even more prominent in the open race as the Jags took the top 12 positions. Winning the race with a spirited effort was senior Summer Roberts who ran a season best and near-PR of 23:30. Kristina Jackson set a personal best to bring home 2nd place, and Kaylay Dunn came in 3rd after months of frustrating injuries.
Another big SJA congrats goes to Halli Grunder for competing in her first ever cross country race - congrats Halli!
