Hale XC week 3

​It was a fun week, and it was great to watch the kids compete for the first time this season.  Here was our first result:

Palmyra Eagle Invite
Varsity- 1st out of 10 teams
Our boys did their best Micah Parsons impression, looking strong in their first performance of the year.
Medalists included…
Individual Champion: Ethan Plier
2nd place: Joseph Ventura
3rd place: Koda Bruner
5th place: Caleb Jensen
10th place- Preston Plier
15th place- Henry Roemer
 
On the varsity side, all six of our medalists had quality performances!  Talking it through as a coaching staff, all six had legitimate arguments for Athlete of the Meet.  However, we decided to go with our fifth and final scorer.  At this meet, Preston strongly surged forward in the second half of the race, showing off his summer of miles, and put the capper on our scoring squad for this week.  Congratulations to Preston Plier for being listed as Athlete of the Meet and all of our guys on a quality start to the season!
 
JV also took 1st place at the meet and had the meet champion.  Here were our scorers (top 5 score in cross country)
Individual Champion: Ethan Muelrath
2nd- Evan May
3rd- Dylan Ostrowski-Neathery
4th- Landen Remer
9th- Weston Luckett
We thought this was a nice baseline for this young group, but know there’s a ton of room for growth! 
As for our JV Athlete of the Meet, we went with a guy who’s been consistent over the first two weeks of practice and has taken nice steps forward since the start of the season.  He looked strong in this race and we’re excited to see where he builds from here.  Congratulations to Esdra Garcia Aguilera on winning Athlete of the Meet for our JV squad!
 
 
Build and Love.  Two things that really help make Hale Cross Country special. 
 
Our veterans are modeling this super well and I’m excited as young guys continue to pick up on what it takes to make the magic of Hale XC happen.
