WooHoo! Congrats Pirate Runners!

WOW! What a great day to race for the Suburban North Conference Championships. Perfect conditions, a fast course and (to paraphrase one of your teammates)" a mighty Pirate vibe" led to a day worthy of all your hard work this season. Individually most of the team ran PRs. That alone would be good news.. but there's more..

First off.. Congratulations to the Girls Varsity team for continuing the winning streak in the SNC Championships! Not only that but the team had a perfect Score this year(top 5 scoring runners in first 5 places)improving on last years finish which was only missing two spots. Awesome!
Congratulations also to Geri Farrell who is this years SNC girls Varsity Champion!

But wait ....the good news doesn't end there. The JV girls also repeated their team victory. Katie B. ran her legs off (well you know...not actually off) to finish her best race of the year and claim the JV girls win. Outstanding work Girls! Congratulations.

On the Boys side we have seen our team improve by a large margin since last year. Placing fourth in the SNC boys Varsity race was great considering last year we were barely able to field a team. Sean Z. cranked out a very tough race to claim a spot in the top 10 and earn All- Conference.
The JV boys also ran well and proved that what really matters is the combined effort of each individual on the team, which in this case was outstanding. So while we don't have winning team scores to report we do have excellent efforts and lots of potential for growth in the future. Excellent work boys!

Enjoy your success, but never be completely satisfied...We're not done yet..and you can still run faster!
