Tech Results & Post Race Meal


Thank you to all the runners, parents and families who turned out for the post-race meal!  We had an excellent turnout to the point we overflowed out of the party room into the main dining area.  Thanks again for making this annual event a huge success.

 

Kudos to all the runners who ran so well at the Tech meet on Tuesday.   It was the third two mile race of the season for the Junior High runners and all of them eclipsed their previous two mile best times despite the windy conditions.  The Star of the Day goes to Jacob Kruger:  he ran a two mile career best by 51 seconds!!  Congratulations to the all the Junior High runners!

 

Despite a hillier course than Litchfield and the aforementioned wind, the high school runners also made great strides collectively.  ELEVEN high school runners posted their season bests! Making the biggest leaps were Sydney Hennes with an amazing 35 second improvement from her previous best time at Litchfield last week, Tatiana Geiger improving her best time by 22 seconds over her Kimball finish and Kayleen Martins with a 21 second improvement from Litchfield.

 

Special shout outs to Nicki Bukowski for matching her career best time on Tuesday and Emma Mader who bettered her career best time by :04 over her previous best at Litchfield last week.

 

The girls varsity team was 14 seconds away from getting SIX runners under the 18 minute barrier and the boys varsity team was 15 seconds away from getting TWO runners under the 18 minute barrier.  Here’s hoping they can break that at the CLC meet next Tuesday at Apollo!  

 

Go Storm!!
