Sectional Results

It was wet and windy but well worth the drive this morning. Both teams came away with a win individually and as a team. It was kind of fun to hear spectators from other schools muttering about how unfair it was to have to run against Shorewood.

Complete slides are up over on the side bar. Results should already be on Wisconsin runner.



The ladies ran a very tight smart race. Claire led from the start as per usual and finished in an easy 14:30 something. She was followed by Becky who placed second. There were a dozen or so other competitors and then our next three runners led by Becca ( check out the racing stripes) they finished as a pack with no gaps. It was very impressive. They started a little slow by design but continually passed runners the whole way. They will look great next week at State. They also showed just how lame the rankings have been on the girl's side all year.

The men put on a show of their own. Dennis led gun to chute but lost a dozen seconds because he kept stopping to ask for directions on what was a very poorly marked course. That won't be a problem next week. David finished in the number two spot for us, breaking the 17:00 barrier and flashing his old form. Andrew was third, just over 17:00 for the fourth week in a row. He was followed closely by Jake, Doug, and Brian. For those of you still counting, yes there was a seventh runner. John put in a great effort as he continues to improves significantly every race. You never know when your seventh runner may suddenly become your fifth mid race and decide the race but it does happen and John is more than holding his own.

Monroe took second to Macfarland today and almost didn't qualify. They ran without their top runner Kehoe who is out with a stress fracture. This means that he won't be back next week and makes them much less of a threat. Macfarland on the other hand is coming on strong and will be very evenly matched. I will post more numbers later.

Congratulations everyone!
