Erik Anderson Invite

Yesterday the teams traveled to Plantes Ferry to race against a large field on both the girls and guys sides from all over the northwest. It started off with the Girls JV race in which we had 5 girls in the top 20 including Anika  5th, Mariah 6th, Sydney 13th, Katie 18th, and Johanna 20th; overall they placed first as a team, very impressive. Next up was the Boys JV race which included over 230 runners. The Blackhawks were led by freshman Nick who placed 15th overall and earning back his varsity spot. Other top JV guys include Spencer, Tom, Kyle B, DJ, and Derek; team scores were unavailable.

Once again the Girls Varsity team was very impressive with three in the top 7 and 6 in the top 31. Blackhawk runners included Sanne 2nd, Amie 3rd, Kinsey 7th, Kendall 23rd, Savannah 25th, Amanda 31st, and Sarah 72nd. Winning the 2A/1A division and also winning the overall 1st place (for all division), the girls scored 60 points. The last race of the day was the Boys Varsity, which ended up being very competitive including many 2A schools and some GSL schools. Showing his old form Nash led the boys (he was the defending champ of this race) in 10th overall followed by Jacob 20th, Devon 26th, Aaron 54th, Corey 86th, Dakota 92nd, and James 118th; team scores were unavailable. (these results are to the best of our knowledge, there was some issues with the timing systems, we will try to get this ironed out better)

Deer Park/Mt. West Classic Recap

Meadlander 9/11/2010

Today the teams headed up to Mead for the Meadlander (formally the Highlander at Shadle Park). The race still was 2.5 miles, good for an opener for the season. As usual the boys raced by grade level, but for the first time the girls also raced by grade level. This allowed athletes to see how they stack up to kids their own age instead of varsity and JV.

There were a lot of good efforts on the course today and here are the top 7 overall:

Boys:

1. Devon P.   14:01
2. Aaron B.    14:06
3. Jacob M.   14:23
4. Nick S.      15:07
5. Corey K.   15:08
6. Mark V.    15:35
7. Dakota T.  15:36

Girls:

1. Sanne H.     15:46
2. Amie Z.       16:30
3. Kinsey P.    16:45
4. Kendall D.   17:11
5. Savannah P. 17:33
6. Mariah B.    18:00
