That's a wrap of the 2019 cross country season! The boys competed at Regionals in Allendale to run against the best in the region. It was another great day for personal records! Congratulations to Edward Frey for qualifying for state! He ran a 16:44 to medal 7th in the region! Kolbe Mills came back to his usual form  running a 17:39! Vinny Ladner ran his last race with his best time of 17:49! Jonathan Jensen finished fourth on the team, besting his previous time by 36 seconds with a 19:48! That's more than five minutes improvement from his first race of the season! Jacob North and Matt Bouwhuis and also ran great races with Jacob taking 46 seconds off his previous best for a PR of 20:46 and Matt with a PR of 20:59!

Then came the JV race where Elisa Fedisoni saw a jaw dropping 1:19 improvement, running a 20:21 to get his personal best, and Joey Nawrocki on a hurt leg still managed to get a PR of 22:28, dropping 43 seconds! Colin Walch and Quinton Bauer resumed running on the team after their soccer seasons finished up, yet they  looked like they were training with the team all year, with Quinton running his fastest in 18:49 and Colin Walch dropping 65 seconds for a 17:49! Colin took fourth place in the JV race earning himself a medal! 

What has been so impressive about this season has been the personal records across the board each race. The amount of miles, hills, and track workouts has payed off! It may have felt like torture for the team at times, especially the new runners to get through each practice, but they persevered to have a great season! We want to wish the seniors the best especially Justin Marble who was unable to run at regionals because of an ankle injury! Their dedication to the sport and hard work will be missed and carry over into their future endeavors. This is only the beginning for the younger guys, and if they can be consistent in their training, they have a bright future and can reach the top level of the conference and region! Great job this year guys!
