Press release Eudora

The Huskies took to the trail for the last time this season, traveling to Eudora for a bleak, dreary day.  What the runners were about to learn (as all 3 coaches told them) this was PERFECT running weather!  With the "perfect" running conditions, gumption, and the drive to succeed and improve the Huskies charged out today.  The only goal given to them was to go out and have fun (and be sure to run through the mud puddles and not around them)!  In a first of my coaching career (8 years for cross country) an amazing, unprecedented thing happened!  All 14 of the runners ran a best time!  It's the kind of things that may give a coach goosebumps, or even shed a tear or two!  There were also 4 new school records set today, each breaking their own personal best.  JJ Briscoe ran a blazing 11:19.62, Alyssa Farrens ran a 14:32.36, Tate Allen ran a 6:36.41, and Anna Tropansky ran 7:14.57 (also breaking records but getting beaten by a teammate were Elizabeth Guevara and Hanna Thomas)!

Overall finishes:

7th grade girls:  Anna Tropansky 21st, Elizabeth Guevara 23rd, Hanna Thomas 24th, Nayeli Campos 27th, Abbie Thomas 30th
7th grade boys:  Tate Allen 38th, Isaac Chorny 44th, Lathan Clark 45th
8th grade girls:  Alyssa Farrens 22nd, Elizabeth Velez 24th, Charlsie Solano 26th, Nayeli Rodriguez 28th
8th grade boys:  JJ Briscoe 6th, Cooper Crouch 47th

League finishes:

7th grade girls:  Anna Tropansky 16th, Elizabeth Guevara 18th, Hanna Thomas 19th, Nayeli Campos 21st, Abbie Thomas 24th (team finished 3rd)
7th grade boys:  Tate Allen 25th, Isaac Chorny 29th, Lathan Clark 30th
8th grade girls:  Alyssa Farrens 21st, Elizabeth Velez 22nd, Charlsie Solano 24th, Nayeli Rodriguez 26th
8th grade boys:  JJ Briscoe 5th, Cooper Crouch 37th

It has been an honor to work with these amazing athletes, coaches and parents this season.  I want to wish the 8th grade the best of luck on the rest of their year as Huskies and the 7th graders, I hope to see you next year!

We are asking all the runners to please bring their sweats to the meet tomorrow, as well as a change of clothes.  Rather than having to worry about uniforms over Fall Break, we would like them to turn uniforms in after they run tomorrow (hence the change of clothes).  Thanks for everything!

Be sure to bring your sweats for practice, it will be chilly!

The Huskies went to battle with "Norman", the infamously large hill at the Ottawa course on Saturday, and they fought up that huge hill with mind over matter to finish strong.  This was the toughest course the Huskies will face and they didn't let that stop them from bringing home several medals and a few personal best times!

The seventh grade girls brought home 4 medals, led by Anna Tropansky in 11th, Hanna Thomas in 12th, Elizabeth Guevara in 13th, Nayeli Campos in 14th, and missing medals by one spot was Abbie Thomas in 16th.  The other medalist was JJ Briscoe who finished in a very strong 3rd, with a new best time and new school record of 12:11.16.
