Hale XC week 5

We had some really good quality practices this week and we capped it off with a solid performance at Grant Park. Here is our team breakdown:

JV- 10th out of 13 teams
Our JV squad competed admirably and our freshmen stepped up well, as four freshmen were a part of our scoring five (shout out to Landen, Dylan, Isaac and Eli!).  Notably, we held off Waukesha West by 1 point, so more evidence that every point counts and we should continue to fight for each other.  Nice work boys!

Our Athlete of the Meet goes to a freshman who showcased valor in a very real way.  Early in the race, he showed the courage to put himself in a spot that he had never been in before.  Landen committed to it and had a great race, leading our JV squad and setting a new PR along the way.  Congratulations to Landen Remer on being selected as our JV Athlete of the Meet and nice job for all our boys on stepping up! 

Varsity- 5th out of 13 teams
Overall, I think we have a lot to be proud of from our boys this week.  Coming off a challenging week of workouts, setting us up for the end of the season, our guys competed really admirably.  Our team score wasn't that far off our team score when we won the meet last year (just about 30 points back) and we have some really nice room to grow.  I'm excited about how we competed and where we are going as a team.

Special congratulations to Ethan Plier and Koda Bruner on both medaling, which is always a special thing (11th and 14th place, respectively).  


Ethan Plier led the way for our boys and is our Athlete of the Meet for this week.  He is a model of consistency for our boys and continually runs fearlessly, at both practice and in meets.  Congratulations Ethan and our entire boys squad.  Quality performance and bigger things to come from these boys!
