West Catholic Cross Country competed at Fruitport for their first race against their conference opponents. With the changed conference this year, it was going to be intriguing to see how the team stacked up against the newer teams.  The guys took 7th edging out Coopersville. The guys had their goal times, didn't all hit them, but it didn't come from a lack of effort or lack of of desire to want to be better. The style of the course just was not in favor for a majority of runners, so it didn't all result in a personal best. Kolbe Mills took 9th in the race and ran a 17:58! Simon Plum ran his personal best beating it by one second! Caleb Levanduski also hit his goal time and more running a 24:13, more than a minute and a half off his previous personal best! That's a large improvement! Its going to be a quick turnaround to the next meet on Saturday at Gainey Field. The meet today is definitely a building block to improve on for some of the team disappointed in their times! They're going to use it as motivation, see what they have to do different in their pacing, and try to really have a day on Saturday! The coaches know they have it in them from the work and hours they have already put in! Keep it Up Guys!
