 GIRLS' GIVE VALIANT EFFORT

 

On a gorgeous afternoon this past Tuesday it was very enjoyable to watch the maroon and gold.   The ladies of BSS/SAS strode to a 3rd place finish against some tough competitors.

 

Kicking up some dust and crossing the line first for BSS/SAS was 7th grade standout  Jessica Megginson (13:25).  Next was trail master Madie Alexander (14:09), a personal best time.  Following closely were Kayla Kolis and Kaylee Sables, both with 14:35.  Next were reliable runners Mackenzie Wortley (14:39),  Emily Delvo (14:50), and Katie Dresser (15:10). 

 

Other gals attaining personal best times at this meet were Brigid Cavanagh, Molly Drake, Kelly Korza, Lauren Lanzotti, Amy Marzalek, Courtney McCarty, and Sage McCraken.

 

Everyone on the entire team did a great job at this meet.     

WAY TO GO GIRLS!  You are lookin' good!

 

BOYS FINISH THIRD!

The BSS/SAS boys did a great job on this tough course on a picture perfect Fall afternoon in Chatham.  One of the most entertaining incidents of the day was 6th grader Michael Ralph running without a shoe for the first part of the race.  Michael lost his shoe as the team took off, but just kept running and amazingly kept up with his usual pace.  Coach Cumming retrieved the shoe from the starting line and intercepted Michael on the course, thus allowing him to finish out the race with BOTH shoes and secure his second best time of the season.  The moral of the story is DOUBLEKNOT BOYS and GIRLS.  

 

Breaking the string for the BSS/SAS pack was Sean Ryan (12:31), followed by Sean Orlando (12:47), Michael Ralph (13:07), and Joey White (13:11), all of whom put forth very nice efforts.  Next were super striders Griffin Ludwig (13:14), Eric Delvo and Peter McDermott, both with 13:58.

 

Other team troopers performing personal bests at this meet were Ryan Butler, Dan Debrey, Michael Kelly, Gabe Krukowski, and Joe LaFata.  FANTASTIC JOB FELLAS!!!!! 

 

Looking forward to seeing these superstars in Delavan tomorrow!!
