West Catholic Cross Country competed at Fruitport for their first race against their conference opponents Wednesday. With the changed conference this year, it was going to be intriguing to see how the team stacked up against the newer teams! It was a pretty good day for the girls, varsity took 3rd place out of the 8 teams! Not all the goal times were hit but there was still a lot of positives to take away! Maggie Duba took 3rd place with a time of 20:51! Lily LeSarge took 11th place, passing a Spring Lake runner at the end! Nathalie Strockis finished 18th and Abby Druelle finished right with her at 19th. The girls made good strides in the conference and the goal is getting some all conference honors and mentions!  On the JV side, Hailey Siwek got a personal record with a 27:53 and Heidi Schulten PR'd with a 28:19! The next meet is this Saturday, the Cougar Falcon Invite and definitely a quick turnaround to improve and build off this race! The team has put in the work, its just going to be about controlling the mental game! The coaches know they all have it in them to do great things because they have shown they're potential time and time again! Let's keep it moving girls!
