Golden Eagles --
Wow what a race Murray was. That will be a race you will be talking about for years to come. With the rain, the mud, the running people over, and running it with 500+ of your fellow runners you will never have another race experience like what you had on Friday at Murray. This meet provided our TEAM with another great chance to improve and work toward our goals.
Highlights of this meet include but are not limited to: Medalist (top 20 overall) Freshman Daniel Quintana placing 7th in the Rookie race, Freshman Maddie Ball & Sophomore Regan Pond both finishing 8th & 9th and Brenda Quintana finished 19th respectively in the Rookie race. Our girls Rookie TEAM of the above three and Kylie Thompson, Chloe Harlan, Allysa Jones, and Cheyanne Bushman earned a 2nd place finish. Terron Hanyie running a great race and just missing out of the top 20 placing 21st in the JV Boys race. Aleina Robertson, Bobbe Graham, and Olivia Garrido all just missed out of the medals running good races and placing 23rd, 24th, and 26th respectively. In the Varsity Boys race Junior Paxton Patey & Sophomore Isaac Faux both earned medals placing 13th & 15th overall in this race. They were joined by Kevin Muirbrook, Jonah Hadlock, Steele Rasmussen, Nate Vance & Micah Sanders who as a TEAM finished 8th (4th in 4A) out of 45 schools in a race that showed how important ALL 7 runners are with four teams having places decided by tie breakers. On the girls side our TEAM of Hayley Knapp, Lindsay Schuring, Autumn Gibson, Sarah Hash, Brette Bennett, Brigett Harris, and Rachel Warnick were able to close their spread to 45 seconds also placed 8th overall and (4th in 4A).
