The first annual Shorewood Invite was a great way to get the legs warmed up and for coaches to get a good sense of how the teams are going to develop throughout the course of the season. As an "early bird" meet, varsity and junior varisty ran together. Seven teams participated in the boys meet, with Division 1 team Marquette dominating the competition, taking 2, 3, 5, 6 and 7th place. Shorewood boys held their own though, coming in second overall. Conference rival Whitnall placed third.
Several returning Shorewood runners had PRs including John Taylor, Brendan Vorpahl, Peter Drews(at Kern) and Ben Tyler. Peter and Ben paced the field for the first mile when Ben broke away from the pack, finishing with a time of 16:17, 40 seconds ahead of the second place Marquette runner. Peter made it an exciting battle for third place by coming on very strong in the last half mile, nearly holding off highly ranked Will Casey of Marquette. Peter posted a Kern Park PR with a time of 16:58. John Taylor was 19th with a time of 18:12 and Brendan Vorphal was 20th with a time of 18:33. Aiden Mazur rounded out the top 5 Shorewood runners, placing 27th with a time of 19:04.
Several of the freshman and sophmores looked strong given the season just got underway. Eric Alfvin was recorded in the results but is injured so Keith Dodd took the 6th and Oliver Heywood the 7th varsity spots contributing to the effort. Joe Pendleton, a sophmore varsity contributor of last year did not finish due to an injury. There is great potential talent in the Shorewood ranks which will be critical to develop if Shorewood is going to be a contender this year. There is no doubt that the potential is there.
The girls had a great race as well, finishing 5th overall. Divine Savior took it all but four teams were in contention for the trophy. There was a five point spread between first and fourth! Divine Savior squeaked past Muskego by one point, Whitnall third and Wauwatosa West fourth.
Morgan Baker was the first Shorewood runner, placing tenth and medaling, followed closely behind 11th place Jenny Vrobel. I believe Jenny had a significant PR. Nora Waters had a great race, coming in 14th. Chloe Staub came in 30th and Laura Schroeaer rounded out the top 5 Shorewood girls by placing 38th.
I am hoping Paul Erickson can add more color to the girls results since I am not as up-to-speed on the girls so I apologize if I did not get this right.
