BSS/SAS 27 IL CENTRAL 28
Mason City, IL (August 24, 2004)
The BSS/SAS girls' cross country team hung in there on a less than ideal
day for a narrow victory over Illinois Central in the first meet of the
season. It was raining and cold during this race, but that did not deter our
hearty runners as they did their best and pulled off a win to start the season
off right!
The top seven gals to cross the line included distance standout
Julia W. (13:52), talented newcomer Jessica M.
(14:28), and tried & true runner Kaylee S.
(16:02). Next was an impressive run from
Katie D. (16:19), who cut 1:39 off last year's time at this same
meet. Also doing a fantastic job were Julie M. (16:22),
Emily D. (16:49) and Kayla K. (16:51).
Other gals running strong races and likely to be seen in the future top
7 runners are Morgan C. (16:52), Katherine
D. (16:55), and Kelly K. (17:00). Showing
tremendous improvement from last year and cutting 3:35 off of her time from
this same meet in 2003 was Elizabeth F.. Our team has
many, MANY wonderful ladies who all did a great job
and helped our team look large and STRONG! We are
thrilled to have so many young girls with strong hearts and lungs helping this
team and doing the BSS/SAS co-op proud! GREAT JOB LADIES.
BSS/SAS GUYS Hang tough through
the storm
BSS/SAS 30 IL CENTRAL 25
Mason City, IL (August 24, 2004)
Even though they did not win the meet, with the rain pelting them and a
chilly wind blowing, the BSS/SAS boys showed what they were made of and did a
fantastic job.
The top seven charges to cross the line included distance veteran Mike
W. (13:02) with a phenomenal run, Sean R. (13:33)
with an impressive race, and newcomer Sean O. (13:38)
showing his talent for running. Next were supreme efforts from
Joey W. (14:23), who cut a full 2 minutes off of his time from
last year, and Zach J. (14:24), who cut more than 3
minutes off of his time from last year. Newcomer Michael R.
(14:27) had a strong race, and Griffin L. (14:49)
showed improvement and looked very good as well.
Other guys to watch from this team and likely to be found in the top 7 in
future meets are Peter M. (14:56) and Eric
D. (14:58). Showing tremendous improvement from this same meet
last year were Brendan C., who cut 6:36 off of his
time, and Mason S., who cut his time IN
HALF! WOW! This team has many, MANY
fantastic runners and future cross country powerhouses on board. All on the
team contributed to the impressive showing in Mason City, and we look forward
to seeing all of them perform again at Lincoln Park on Tuesday.
FANTASTIC JOB GUYS!!!!!
