Seconds Produces a First

Half-mile into the boys junior varsity race and the look on Dane Duerst's face tells us everything we need to know about today. It will be tough. He's in second place, a Boscobel boy leads and three run in Dane's shadow. Our large JV team races ahead of most of the eighteen teams but not fast enough to give Dane any relief. Three miles later we see three Boscobels finishing first, second and third, Dane (20:19) holding fourth and our Ben Lukszys, Simon Blohowiak, Beckett Malaise, Braylon Hoesly, Logan Blum and Griffin Ness all finishing before their fifth man.

Wildcat Cross Country News

On Saturday our CC team ran in our biggest race of the season in Janesville. It was tough for some of our inexperienced runners to be in such a big crowd (most races had 300+ athletes). But they pushed hard and had incredible results.
Six boys were under 20 minutes, which is rare for us! Many personal bests occurred today. Our top runner for the boys team was Jordan Wilder, with a season best finish of 18:46, and Tayler Yapp was our top girl, finishing in 20:56. Proud of our kids! Way to go Wildcats!
Next Saturday we'll be running in Platteville!
