The JV and Varsity girls cross country teams competed in two different varsity divisions for the Cougar Falcon Invitational. Gainey Field, having an open course, made the late race in the heat of the day that much tougher! West Catholic still fought through it and took 3rd place for the girls in the Falcon Division! Congrats to Maggie Duba for taking 10th place and earning a top place medal! While the heat and hills caused some slower times than they have recently run, every veteran runner who completed the race was able to run 1/2 - 1+ minute quicker than last year on this course, reinforcing their commitment to improvement this season! The only exception was Nathalie Strockis, who ran the EXACT SAME TIME - down to a chip timed tenth of a second - as 2019! That has to be some record somewhere!!! Julia Sanford had a good fought race, hitting her goal time and season record! The team is looking forward to a full week of practices and training after a hard fought couple of meets! Their next meet is back in Fruitport for the Fruitport Invitational on October 3rd!
