Both teams put in a solid performance Saturday. The weather was perfect and the competition was very very fast.The boys took second overall thanks to a pair of well timed finishing kicks, however the results were skewed because catholic memorial pulled a runner in the last hundred meters because he
was having an asthma attack. With him in, CM would have smoked us. On the plus side we did beat Tremper again along with a long list of other good D1 schools. Dennis finished first for the squad and 6th overall but just barely. He had to work to catch Kevin. Kevin posted what I think is the fastest time for a freshman in the state so far this year. His 16:49 would have put him 8th on the final list for all freshman last year. The bonus is that he did it on a real course too.Andrew was third in 17:12, followed by david ( 17:22), Brian (18:07), Jon (18:42), Ben (19:16), and Sam ( 19:31). very solid.
Full results are up at http://www.wisconsinrunner.com/results/2006_rebel/index.htm .
The ladies were paced by Becky (16:27) who is looking very strong this year; Becca (17:20);
and then a six deep pack of Erica, Morgan, colleen, Devon, and Devin between 17:26 and 17:29. If they can all stay together and move up that kind of pack running will win a lot of races.I'm sorry that I didn't get a watch on the open race. Participants included Bill H, Chris S, Coach
K, and mad dogg. If you watch the slide show they look like they had a lot of fun.Speaking of which my pics are up now at Photo show. The Weir pictures will be up later.
Congratulations to everyone!

There were some strong, gutty performances in the JV races as well. Some strong kicks suggest that a few of the freshmen will improve as they learn to trust that they can go out a little faster and not die by the end. Thanks again, Paul, for the summaries & the photos.
