West Catholic cross country competed at the Kenowa Hills 5 way against Northview, Comstock Park, Kenowa Hills, and Sparta today. The girls had runners compete in both JV and varsity. With the wind being a significant factor today, it made it tougher to run with the openness of the course, but it wasn't something the team was going to back down from! The first race was the varsity race where the top three freshman girls last week moved up into the 5k today! Maggie Duba took 4th place running a 21:12 having a strong finish passing two girls at the end! Lily LeSarge had a good start to her varsity debut running a 22:33 and taking 9th place! Abby Druelle also had a strong effort the entire race running a 22:54, always having her teammates in her sight! Nathalie Strockis did the same, staying right on Abby's heels running a 22:56! Claire Smith had a strong finish,passing multiple people running a time of 24:10! Lainey Roth and Maggie McKeiver continue to be good running partners constantly bringing each other up in the race! Lainey ran a 25:32 and Maggie with a 25:26! Captains Julia Sanford and Aishlin Roth also ran hard during their first 5k of the season. Julia ran a 26:24 while Aishlin ran a 27:58 coming off sickness in the days prior! It was a good showing for the varsity side! For the JV race, there were six girls who competed in the race. They did well in this race running in packs, which helped them not settle in, but continue to push forward.  Abby Nawrocki ran a 27:58 with Eve Bacon about 9 seconds off her running a 28:07! Anna Richmond kept up with Eve and Abby in her 5k debut, to run hard all the way to a 28:28! Hailey Siwek, Brenna Olewinski, and Cassandra Sisk all ran as a pack following the first group of girls having good form, strides and effort throughout in their first ever 5k race! A common theme of this meet was having good splits and strong finishes to beat people at the end! A big focus at practice this week will be pace so each mile and not just the first two can consistently get faster! This will carry the team into their next meet against Grand Rapids Track Club!
