Woodbridge Highlights and Week #14 At-A-Glance

Boys

Coach Thatcher writes:

Varsity Boys ran a :32 second 1-5 team spread! 

Improved last years team time by almost a minute (on a slower course!) 

Averaged 16:05 for top 5.

Placed 15th out of 26 teams. (46th overall)

Multiple personal best times across the board. 

Senior Kuan Yew Clive started us off running 18:12 for a huge PR and the last medal spot in that race. 

On the freshman side we had strong performances by Erick Shreckengast in 18:46 Justin Michel in 18:47.

Sophomores were led by Dillon Bromley in 18:10. Junior Jonathan Skaggs clocked a new personal best of 17:32.

Under the lights in the Varsity Boys Rated Race, the Spartans were led again by Adam Skaggs who finished in 15:48, followed closely by Brendan Greene in 15:57 (his first sub 16 race), 

Andrew Fisher in 16:04, Erick Lankey in 16:14 and Anton Cwik in 16:20. All were PR's for the course and received medals (top 100). 

Overall an impressive day, with a little room for improvement over the next few weeks.

Girls

GIRLS: BRING YOUR FLATS TOMORROW (MONDAY TRACK WORKOUT) 

Also, on Wednesday, I'd like to have the girls meet me over at Lacy Park to take a look at the course as well as cheer on the your junior high counterparts. I will already be there due to the 7-8 cross country meet that is taking place. Mrs. Fuelling has already agreed to help drive over 7 girls. Please ask your mom or dad if they might be able to assist and drive the rest of the team over. You would leave right after school at 2:45pm. You can change at the park. Let me know either with an email or during practice tomorrow . If we don't have the transportation to take everyone, then we don't go. I figure two additional large vehicles would be needed.

 

Below are the team times for LC girls over the past 13 years at Woodbridge. (Only three years faster than yesterday's time.) I don't know for sure, but I will say that yesterday's course is surely slower than Woodbridge's. Remember that last mile at Woodbridge is nearly all pavement! Also, yesterday's course had a lot of thick grass. I think 5 seconds per mile would be a conservative conversion.
