The cross country teams traveled to the Trumbull County Fairgrounds last weekend to compete in a flat, but muddy competition called the Legends Invitational in which "legends" of running from the Northeast Ohio area are honored and can mingle with the athletes. This year's legends were Marc Hunter and Jenny Morgan.
The varsity team finished 6th out of 13 teams and a varsity "B" team was 9th in the same race. Two of the teams ahead of SJA were last year's division champs Brunswick and the best team in the state this year St. Vincent/St. Mary's. Senior Emily Bauer returned to her early season form with perhaps her best race ever finish 14th place. The other top 4 scoring runners were Alesha Vovk (jr), Jill Bresnahan (sr), Rachel McGuire (jr), and Jessica Bresnahan (sr).
The JV lost a close battle to Brunswick, but in reality it was Brunswick's B team vs. SJA's C team. Freshman Emma Stalder was the top SJA finisher in the open race with her 4th place effort.
The team has one more weekend invitational next Saturday at Massillon's Ohio Independent championship.
