These runners were Gabe Ross who placed 7th, Michael Conklin, placing 15th, Stephen Braun, placing 16th, and Ella Hill who placed 11th in the girls varsity race. The boys varsity team consisting of Gabe Ross, Michael Conklin, Stephen Braun, Evan Kempf, Bubka Carlson, Brandon Flynn, and Chad Miao placed 3rd as a team and came away with a trophy. The Warriors raced in the Redbird Classic at Black Partridge Park in Metamora the following weekend. The boys varsity team ran well and took 3rd place, bringing home a plaque. The team consisted of Gabe Ross, Michael Conklin, Stephen Braun, Brecken Fahrenkrug, Evan Kempf, Bubka Carlson, and Brandon Flynn. Gabe Ross placed 13th, Michael Conklin placed 15th, and Stephen Braun placed 20th, all taking home medals in the varsity race. Ella Hill placed 21st in the girls varsity race. Jacob Doerr finished 19th in the boys open race, along with Phoenix Perreault, placing 21st, and Landon Wall, placing 23rd. The Tuesday after their weekend invitational, the Warriors ran at Eureka Lake against 5 teams. Ella Hill took first place in the girls race and Gabe Ross finished 1st in the boys race. On August 25th, the Warriors hosted the Michele Stewart Invitational at 3 Sisters Park in Chillicothe. The invitational included 15 teams with over 400 runners. It was an exciting day for the Warriors as Ella Hill finished 6th overall in the girls varsity race. Jacob Doerr finished 16th in the boys open race, earning a medal. The Boys Varsity team of Gabe Ross, Michael Conklin, Stephen Braun, Bubka Carslon, Evan Kempf, and Brandon Flynn took 2nd place as a team and brought back a trophy. Gabe Ross finished 3rd overall, Michael Conklin 6th, and Stephen Braun finished 9th, all receiving medals. The Warrior Cross Country team includes 41 runners who are all working hard to improve their racing as the season moves forward. More importantly, these awesome kids are choosing better health each time they lace up their shoes. Running is not easy and this Warrior team continues to persevere and find success. With the 2018 XC Season starting on July 30th, it is very important that all the runners start getting active. In order for each runner to be ready for our first practice, a summer routine of exercise is a great idea! Most of our races are 2 miles in length which means eventually, each runner will need to be able to run those two miles at a reasonable pace. I have set up the schedule over the summer to provide each runner with a level of endurance that will be a good foundation for the start of practice. Please message me if you have any questions about the training calendar! I hope to see you at the fun runs this summer!
Here are some pictures from our pre-state practice at Parkside in Normal. What an awesome group of kids!
