BOYS, GIRLS STUN OPPONENTS

AT LINCOLN PARK

The BSS/SAS superstriders ran away (pun intended) with the meet Tuesday at Lincoln Park, leaving no doubt who reigns as the top team in the city! With commanding performances by our runners, scoring was as follows: GIRLS: BSS/SAS 22, Lincoln Magnet 53, Franklin Middle School 86, CTK 104, Little Flower/Cathedral 171, Washington 282, and St. Al's 342. BOYS: BSS/SAS 28, Franklin Middle School 61, St. Al's 83, Lincoln Magnet 100, CTK 168, Washington 255, Little Flower/Cathedral 382.

On an extremely HOT day, our runners braved the hills of Lincoln Park and got the job done with talented trail runner JESSICA MEGGINSON (13:39) leading the way for our girls and placing second overall in the meet. Amazing EMILY DELVO (14:03) and magnificent MACKENZIE WORTLEY (14:21) placed third and fourth overall with strong performances. Terrific teammates MADDIE ALEXANDER (14:25), KAYLA KOLIS (14:53), KRISTIN GRIMSLEY (14:55), and MARIA LOWIS (15:33) were also found in the TOP 7 runners for BSS/SAS. Entering the chute not far behind were superstars JENNA HOPKINS (15:39), KELLY KORZA (15:52), and MORGAN CLEM (15:54). Congratulations girls and great job by ALL runners!

It was a photo finish in the boys race with SEAN RYAN (11:58) running on all cylinders on the stretch and placing first overall in the meet. At the chute shortly thereafter was distance mogul JOEY WHITE (12:32) with a third place finish, and renegade runner SEAN ORLANDO (12:39) with a fifth place finish. Next were marvelous MICHAEL RALPH (13:21), go-getter GRIFFIN LUDWIG (13:27), energetic ERIC DELVO (13:28), and mercurial MASON SWITZER (13:43). Also found among the top runners were hard workers JOSH MEGGINSON (13:51), JOEY SHOWTIS (13:58), and ANTHONY ROCCO (14:06). Super job by these boys and all boys on the team!
