It has been a great season so far, and we are excited for the upcoming races. Here are some highlights from our last few races in September.
At the Eden Prairie Metro Invite the varsity had a victory over Highland Park out scoring them by 8 points. JV also had a strong showing, finishing second to Highland Park. Our middle school team brought home the win with a nearly perfect score of 16 points.
The team then traveled West to Buffalo for an opportunity at at new race. The team was split between two races in two days, so the results at Buffalo are especially impressive. The varsity team placed 4th among some of the best teams in the state. JV had a commanding victory with some middle school additions. This was a fast course with a HUGE hill, so we are proud of the team for their grit.
Th following day the varsity crew had their chance to race at the Griak Invite hosted by the University of Minnesota. This race was as close as it could be with the team pulling out a one point victory against Cherry Creek. This shows that every place matters. We also had our first ever individual champion in Abbey Nechanicky. She blew the competition away with a 17:37.9 finish. The second place finisher was over 30 seconds behind her! This was quite the showing for a meet with so many nationally ranked teams.
We are excited for the month of October and all of the opportunities it will bring. See below for some photos to highlight September races.
