The future

Despite our small size, the Shorewood CC teams have been very successful over the last decade. This is not an accident but the result of a lot of hard work. I think that it is important to note in particular just how much Mr. Haury has done to recruit and encourage runners in the middle school, who then go on to run at a very high level in high school. Our ability to consistently field some of the fastest freshman in the state year after year is only possible because of the way he nurtures the middle school program.

Thanks Bill !!

With that intro, there are a number of really exciting eighth graders this year who could be a real help next year. On the boys side, Joe and Adan have been running at the front of most races and they have been well under 12 minutes for two miles. That's outstanding.

Even more impressive on the girl's side is Emily who is running almost as fast as Joe. In the last race at Greenfield park she was 30 seconds behind him, giving up 20 seconds in the first mile, and 10 seconds in the second mile finishing around 11:45.

The future looks great.
