Hale XC Week 9 GMC

Viking Invite Recap

The team had a strong meet for their last regular season invite of the season, with varsity finishing 4th overall and emerging varsity finishing 8th.  

Elijah, Ethan and John raced great together, moving up well throughout the race and finishing in solid scoring positions.  Elijah led the men with a 12th place finish with Ethan close behind in 18th both with significant season best times and Ethan shattering his all time best time.  John held on to 28th place and is starting to come on strong as well at the right time, gaining confidence each week.  Rounding out the scoring were the sophomores Koda and Joe.  Running together most the way, Koda pulled away mid race with Joe having a great finish to get back close to him by the finish and rounding out the scoring with 36th and 38th place finishes.  Caleb moved up the all time frosh list with a personal best race and the 6th man.  Preston ran a season best race as the 7th man and Brody ran a personal best in his first varsity race.  It was a fun and positive day to build off of heading into conference, sectionals and state!

Damien was the first Hale finisher in the emerging varsity race with a big personal best time.  Getting out strong were Nate H and Ethan M.  Unfortunately, Nate has been battling a tough injury that flared up around the mile mark and had to exit the race early.  Ethan then finished the race as the team's 2nd scorer and will work on a more confident second half of racing next week.  Iker, Henry and Evan rounded out the scoring and are ready for big races as well coming up at conference.  Shaun ran his debut 5k, while Nate S and Payson picked up big personal best races as well.

We host Greater Metro Conference this year!  We are excited to be on our home course and host one of the best cross country meets of the year.  Just got back a bit ago from painting the course, it's looking fast!  It will be awesome to be on the home course, having fun and running for each other.

With hosting, we could use a bit of help if available when your son/daughter(s) not racing.  We will have tshirt and small concession sales set up again.  Please use the following document to sign up for a shift if you are able.
