On Saturday, the boys team defeated a very good field at the All-Ohio Catholic championships in Kettering. Jeff Griffiths, Drew Valenzano, and Matt Johnson all finished in the top 6 and all ran under 17 minutes for the first time. The 53 points scored by the boys was 22 better than rival Badin. It looks like it is shaping up for these two teams to have quite a few battles at league, districts and beyond. The girls also ran very well, finishing 4th of 15 teams. Rebecca Heise lead the team again followed closely by Maggie Daly and Rachel Wadell. The girls 134 points were a mere 40 off the score from the first place team from Dayton Carroll. The girls will get a couple more opportunities against Carroll at league and regionals. Next week is an off week for the team. Our next meet is October 4th at the Eaton "Ed Leas" Invitational. More info will follow about times. Another good showing at the Milford Invitational On Saturday the boys team finished 4th of 23 teams at the Milford Invitational.

Matt Johnson finished 14th and Drew Valenzano 17th as the boys team was once again the top division 2 team at the meet. The girls were lead by freshman Rebecca Heise with a 21st place finish of the 116 runners. The rest of the top 5 came in shortly after her with Catherine Paquette finishing 33rd, Lauren Clark 41st and Rachel Wadell 42nd. The girls team was 6th of 16.

Saturday at the Winton Woods Invitational both teams finished 3rd behind Lakota West and Anderson. I really sensed the team coming together and the kids pushing each other throughout the race. The course at Winton Woods is extremely tough and it is not a "pr" course, but the effort given by the team was very good. Also, congratulations to Jeff Voegele who won the open race!
