Recap: Wet, wet, wet. In years past, the Archbold meet was always sweatshirt-cold at the start and blazing hot by the end. Not this year. It was overcast from start to finish, and right on cue the rain started pouring as the Middle School girls kicked off their race.
Kayla and Kennedy again worked together through this race, pacing and pushing each other until the final half mile when Kayla pulled a head to a new personal record time. Kennedy was only a second behind her season best and was over 40 seconds faster than last year. Izzy also ran really well in her first ever cross country race!
On the boys side, Chris continues to see the results of his hard work over the summer as he set a new personal record and ran over two minutes faster than his time at Archbold last year. Owen just missed his PR by two seconds, and Will turned in another solid effort.
Here are the results for the Middle School:
Last Name | First Name | Finish | Place |
Barkhimer | Izzy | 19:56 | 82 |
Keller | Kennedy | 14:37 | 13 |
Gleckler | Kayla | 14:20 | 11 |
Hartzell | Chris | 15:34 | 86 |
Bryson | Owen | 18:17 | 137 |
Thomas | William | 17:24 | 125 |
A very solid outing by our Middle School runners heading into a fun meet next weekend.
