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
