David Brady Cross Country Invitational

Unlike last year (when a bolt of lightening cancelled the meet), today was a perfect day for both runners and spectators.  We had runners in the boys' Frosh-Soph, Girls' Varsity and Boys' Varsity, and medal winners in two of those races.  A hardy congrats to each and every team member.  Finishing this course is a challenge in and of itself; it's definitely one of the most difficult races each year.  Kick your feet up the rest of the weekend (after you finish your homework, of course). 
You deserve it!

Final words from Coach


Warming up.








Coming in toward the finish line...
 
41st place out of 133 runners--impressive!

GIRLS' VARSITY:




Posing in our new shorts!

It's hard to appreciate in this picture, but the runners are actually at the bottom of a long, long hill.  What a way to begin a race!



Between the first and second mile markers...





Ale fighting for 18th place

Sandra with a strong finish in 27th place.
(1 minute 37 seconds faster than her last race at Argo)

Not far behind...36th place
(3 minutes 17 seconds faster than the previous Argo race--amazing!)

Anne took 8 minutes, 5 seconds off her previous time--out of this world!!!

This was Melody's first Bull Frog event.  Way to go!

 


The medal says 18th place, as well as the slip of paper that she got at the finish line, but the "official" place on the web site was 19th.  Not sure why there is a discrepency.


The team got 8th place overall out of 19 teams total. 
Pretty impressive considering that some of the teams are AAA!!!
Well run, Ladies!

BOYS' VARSITY:


We are ready!!!

Between the 1st and 2nd mile markers.







Headed toward the finish line... 

13th out of 130...top 10%.  Way to go Kyle!






It appears Jake lost his arm somewhere along the way.  But somehow he still finished--what a trooper.   :-)


Kyle with his 13th Place Trophy.
