The WBXC High School Boys and Girls took on an extremely crowded and competitive field at the Legends meet last Saturday. Runners on both teams posted some amazing times on the 5K (3.1-mile) course, with NEARLY EVERY WB athlete who ran at Legends last year setting a course PR (improving on his/her time at this particular meet)! The high school squads also compiled some excellent team scores!
Leading the way for the boys, finishing in the top 24% or higher of a field of 345 boys were
senior Kyle Ormiston--29th place (16:51)*Award-winner
senior Colton Cantwell--75th place (17:39)*Lifetime PR by 17 seconds
senior TJ Greenfield--79th place (17:46)*Lifetime PR by 1 second
sophomore Logan Williams--83rd place (17:48)*Lifetime PR by 7 seconds
Several other WBXC HS Boys raced particularly well, posting lifetime PR's! From their previous best times, senior Bennett Biggs (18:39) dropped 6 seconds, freshman Jace Bowlin (20:10) dropped 14 seconds, and junior Aiden Scott (20:44) cut 10 seconds. Winning the prize for shaving off the most time were juniors Aidan Stuchell (20:57) and Brock Weisel (22:24) who improved their times by a whopping 47 seconds and 1:07, respectively!
As a team, the WBXC HS Boys finished an incredibly impressive 10th of 43 schools (top 25%) in a very competitive field!
Leading the way for the girls, finishing in the top 26% or higher of 297 girls, were
freshman Tenley Stitle--27th place (20:11)*Award-winner; Lifetime PR by 21 seconds
sophomore Rachel Teague--75th place (21:33.5)*Lifetime PR by 21 seconds
freshman Ellie Bickle--77th place (21:33.8)*Lifetime PR by 43 seconds
Three other WBXC HS Girls ran their fastest-ever times! Freshman Izzy Cantwell (23:56) dropped 11 seconds, sophomore Luna Woolf (24:09) dropped 36 seconds, and junior Carter Fritz (24:36) dropped 33 seconds!
Senior Sonja Sanor (24:26) and sophomore Grace Boyle (24:29) both posted season PR's!
Like the WBXC HS Boys, the WBXC HS Girls had a great day as a team, finishing 13th of 35 schools (top 37%), again in a super-competitive field!
Congratulations, all WBXC HS Boys and Girls!
The WBXC HS teams are gearing up for the EBC Meet, which will be on Saturday, 10/17, at Marlington High School!
Like their high school teammates, the WBXC Middle School Boys and Girls competed at the Legends Meet last Saturday. For their 2-mile course, they also faced crowded, competitive fields. Just like the high school runners, NEARLY EVERY WB middle school athlete who ran at Legends last year set a course PR (improved on his/her time at this particular meet)! Many WB middle school runners rose to the occasion and set lifetime PR's also!
Leading the way for the boys, finishing in the top 28% or higher of 325 boys, were
7th grader Sawyer Vavrock--23rd place (11:56)*Award-winner; Lifetime PR by 9 seconds
8th grader Wyatt Turman--90th place (12:58)*Season PR
8th grader Liam Wilson (13:05) beat his lifetime PR by 15 seconds.
The WBXC MS Boys had one of their best team finishes on the season, placing 19th of 38 schools!
Leading the way for the girls, finishing in the top 29% or higher of 240 girls, were
8th grader Stella Whiteleather--28th place (13:10)*Award-winner; Lifetime PR by 36 seconds
8th grader Violet Benner--65th place (14:08)*Lifetime PR by 5 seconds
8th grader Maggie Cosma--69th place (14:11)*Lifetime PR by 17 seconds
Three other WBXC MS Girls ran their fastest-ever times! 7th grader Raina Brown (14:27) dropped 9 seconds, 7th grader Kenzie Turman (15:19) dropped a massive 59 seconds, and 8th grader Natalie Fraser (17:05) chimed in, cutting 22 seconds!
8th grader Belle Jerles (15:16) posted a season PR!
The WBXC MS Girls had another great day as a team, placing 10th of 26 schools (top 38%). For anyone keeping score at home, at Legends, the MS girls got a bit of revenge, finishing just ahead of Canfield--the only team to beat them at the Mahoning County Championships this year!
Congratulations, all WBXC MS Boys and Girls!
