The High School WBXC teams took on the hilliest, most challenging terrain they will see all season in their 5K races (3.1 miles) at the Dover Invitational last Saturday! The coaches are extremely proud of each and every runner for his/her grit and determination!
For the boys,
Finishing in the top 7% of 89 boys and earning a medal was junior Kyle Ormiston--6th place (18:31)
Finishing in the top 20% of 89 boys and earning a medal was freshman Logan Williams--16th place (19:50)
For the girls,
Finishing in the top 15% of 54 girls and earning a medal was freshman Rachel Teague--8th place (23:29)
Finishing in the top 30% of 54 girls and earning a medal was freshman Kelly Ewing--16th place (25:22).
Finishing in the top 35% of 54 girls and earning her very first cross country medal was junior Sonja Sanor--19th place (25:27).
Although none of the runners set a lifetime PR (personal record) at Dover, every single WB runner who competed in the 5K race last year improved his/her time at the Dover course on average by 1:45!!
The WBXC High School Boys and Girls are excited to travel to Boardman for the Spartan Invitational on Saturday, 9/13!
Congratulations, all HS boys and girls!
