Saint Agnes & Blessed Sacrament Cross Country Team
******PRESS RELEASE******
by Jane Ryan
DYNAMITE IN DELAVAN!

I was asked by several of our team members if
I would please get a press release out for the
Delavan meet soon. I am so flattered that
someone reads them and looks forward to them! I
apologize for the tardiness of this release. My
week was extremely busy, but I'm catching up on
some things today. One of those very important
things is the news on Delavan!
On Saturday, October 1st, on a beautiful day
in Delavan our girls were presented with a 3rd place trophy and our
boys secured a 4th place finish. This is truly noteworthy,
as there were 32 teams at this invitational
and it was the toughest competition we faced all
season except for sectionals! There were 967 runners and 27
pages of results that were faxed to us. A HUGE
thank you to St. Agnes Athletic Director JOAN BAKER, who made sure
these were copied and distributed. MRS. BAKER does so much behind the
scenes work to help our cross country team and
we are very grateful to her for everything!
With so many runners, it was truly an
accomplishment to bring home an individual medal
from this meet. Distance standouts JESSICA M. (14th place, 12:53) and SEAN R. (9th place,
11:36) wore medals home from this meet.
Duchess of distance EMILY D.
(13:13) had a great race, followed by victory
veterans MADDIE A.
(13:47), KAYLA K.
(13:52), MACKENZIE W.
(13:53), MARIA L.
(14:13), and KRISTIN G.
(14:50). We need to note that this course was
changed from last year, and this year it was
exactly 2 miles. Apparently in the past this
course had been approximately 1.97 miles rather
than 2 miles. So, runners who ran this course
last year please keep this in mind when
comparing your times.
Girls attaining personal best times for the
season on the Delavan course were
HELEN C. (19:54),
MADISON C. (16:03),
MORGAN C. (15:05), MOLLY
D. (16:44), DANIELLE H.
(14:56), AMBER M.
(22:52), HANNAH P.
(17:46), ABBY R.
(16:00), ERIN S.
(19:55), and ELLEN W.
(16:42). Wonderful work girls!
Tremendous trailmaster JOEY W.
(12:14) ran strong for the guys, followed by
distance moguls MICHAEL R.
(12:55), ERIC D.
(13:09), JOSH M.
(13:10), MASON S.
(13:17), and JOEY S.

representatives!

season at Delavan were DAN D.
