With less than three weeks left until the post-season, the Jaguars continue to put in solid effort, showcasing another strong performance at the U Wanna Come Back meet in Madison. The competition was fierce, with the Varsity Jags finishing 8th out of 12 teams, while the JV squad came through impressively, securing 3rd place among the same 12 teams.
Leading the Varsity team once again were Maddie Koons (18:54) and Avery Stives (18:58). Both athletes not only cracked the sub-19-minute mark but also earned spots at 8th and 9th place, respectively, on SJA’s all-time rankings.
On the JV side, senior Silvia Lanese led the charge with a personal best time of 22:32. She was closely followed by Celia O’Leary (23:07), Mora O’Linn (23:13), Alex Humphrey (23:25), and Bridie Hyland (23:25).
The day wrapped up with 26 runners achieving season-best times and 9 athletes hitting lifetime bests. The team recognized two standout performers as Athletes of the Meet. Avery Stives (’27) for securing her place on the all-time list, and Kate Neitzel (’28), who earned a lifetime best with a strong race.
Looking ahead to next week, the team will split up for two meets. Captains, four-year seniors, and those who have run sub-24 minutes this season will compete at the Portage Invite in Michigan, while the rest of the squad heads to the Milt Place XC Festival in Medina.
