| Michael Winghart - Junior 
|
Michael Winghart Michael is a Junior at Wayne this year. His best time of 16:48 came at the Wayne Invitaional. Michael's mileage over the summer helped him become a "top 5" threat in most of our meets this year. His favorice race was the Wayne Invitational since it's our "home" course. Michael's favorite course is Troy. "I like Troy because the competition was good and that's where the regional meet is held." He ran a 16:50 there. |
|
Mike chose CC Camp, and both the Mentor and Malone trips as his highlights of the season. In the near future, he just wants to run and continue to improve, but his future plans are to maybe run in college and attempt triathlons too. | |

| Lisa Jameson - Sophomore 
|
Lisa Jameson Lisa is a sophomore at Wayne. Her best time came at the Warrior Invitational (20:50). This time was the number "1" ranked time for the girls this season. Our course was Lisa's favorite with Troy being a close second. At the end of the season, Lisa is already focusing on next year! She would like to run more |
|
consistently in the 20's and 21's, but her ultimate H.S. goal is to someday break into the 19's, even if it's 19:59! As Lisa reflected on the 1999 season, she feels the best things about Wayne CC are the friendships and feeling of family. Compared to last year, Lisa feels this year's team was more competitive, which helped push her to better times and position on team. She attributes much of her personal improvement to Tawnie, who helped her work harder in practice and meets. She wants to congratulate all the girls this year. "Everyone did so well, especially the J.V. runners who will challenge some of the varsity spots next year!" Lisa will now switch her focus to basketball. Her goal now is to make the team and continue to stay in shape all winter. | |
