Boys Varsity Cross Country-Regionals-Allendale

This cross country season is one of the longer ones out of the other sports. We start work in June building our base mileage. We continue consistent running, workouts, and routines all the way through the fall. It all comes to a head at Regionals in Allendale. The stakes feel higher while the pressure is on us to run our fastest time or hit a place we are aiming for! Regardless of outcome, however, this team has shown resilience and both coaches are proud of what we have done this season! 

The boys had everyone compete for varsity for the meet. Four year runner, Matt Bouwhuis, his senior year, last chance to hit a PR, did so with a 20:24! Way to finish strong Matt! Big improvements came from Charles Brooks (17:48) PR, who was 1st for varsity, Tim O’Brien (19:08) PR, and Evan Murphy (20:25) PR! Way to hit those PRs boys! Andrew Bajdek ran his last senior cross race with a great race, (18:04) PR! Noah Ysasi (22:56) and Frankie Pelak (20:44) with good races as well!

Solid improvement all around! This boys team had to fight all season! The smallest number of people want to run cross country and when the size of our team is just enough for varsity, they know they are carrying the West Catholic logo with pride. They are very close as a team and push each and every day! Can’t wait to see where we all go in the coming seasons while our seniors left out there for the last time! Good season boys!

We also want to recognize our seniors of Matt and Andrew for being leaders of the team and good teammates  all around! Matt started out freshman year and made an impact with  his attitude and positive spirit with his teammates! He finished out running his fastest race! Andrew joined the team his senior year and led by example on his work ethic and attitude! Happy to say he made awesome strides as the season went on and finished out running his fastest race! Can't wait to see where the future takes them!!
