H2O + XC = Racin' in the Mud


The photo above was taken on the starting line at Sectionals , before the race.

Torrential downpours over the past week or so have left us with some true cross country action to finish out the season. Pirate runnners split up last wednesday between the Findley Memorial Inv. at Forest Park (boys) and the Finn Dawg Inv. at Kirkwood park (girls).Congratulations to all our competitors in these races for finishing your season in style...true muddy-soggy- swampy style.

Our Sectional meet at Forest Park this past weekend offered up more mud lovin' fun. Two collegiate races were held immediately before our races, leaving the already soggy course the consistency of pudding. What is normally considered a race track became a swamp fest for a ticket to the state meet. Congratulations to Sean, Jalisa,Hannah and Geri for making the best of the day and battling hard in a sloppy sectional meet. In the end, Jalisa(3rd overall!)and Hannah (19th overall) both cruised through the mud bogs fast enough to earn a spot in the state meet next weekend. Congratulations and best of luck. Go Pirates!
