| Mars & Riverside-September 17 With the chance to run a true cross country course that included rocks, roots, and logs in the path, many people got PR's (and twisted ankles!) The boys ran an great race beating both teams. They were led the Drew Zivic. The girls team wasn't so lucky, losing both races by a few points. It could have been the heat or the dust in their eyes, but these girls don't make excuses. They are sure to make a full recovery at the OLSH relays on Saturday. |
| OLSH Relays-September 22 The rain held back just long enough for all the races to finish. The Girls A team finished 1st and the Boys A team finished 2nd. Medaling for the girls were Katie Jarocki, Haley Hinds, Lindsay Snak and Mary Sexton, medaling for the boys were Drew Zivic, Craig Luzik, and Mike Leon.
