2010 Cross Country

Lori Fitzgerald Pre State Invitational

9/4/10

The pre state invitational was held at the Arapahoe County Fairgrounds, the same course that will host the state meet on October 30^th.  Over 2000 runners from all classifications took part in this race over rolling, dusty terrain. 

Five FCA girls participated in the race, with Hannah Payne leading the way.  Hannah was followed by Madison Batug, Kiara Durret, Hannah Levesque and Jessica Dickinson.  Three of our girls improved their season best times by over two minutes.

Sam Yeager led our contingent of eight FCA boys.  Sam was followed by Luke Yeager, Spencer Edsall, David Hawkins, Zach Steitz, KC Kinney, Andy Pruett and Jeremy Owens.  Five of these boys improved their season best times by one minute or more.  Another positive is that we expect to have Evan Fortney back from injury next week.

The experience gained through participating in this early season invitational should pay dividends throughout the season, and especially at the state championships in October

The D’Evelyn Dash Cross Country Scrimmage was the first competition of the year for our team.  We have a total of nineteen runners on the squad this year, and nine of them are freshmen.  We may be a little short on experience, but the team’s future is bright.

Both the boys and girls teams ran well in this season opening race.  Seven boys ran this race, led by senior Sam Yeager who placed 6^th overall, followed by Luke Yeager, Spencer Edsall, David Hawkins, Zach Steitz, KC Kinney and Andy Pruett.

Eight FCA girls participated, with junior Bethany Xiong leading the way.  Beth was followed by Hannah Payne, Audrey Barday, Madison Batug, Kiara Durret, Jacquelyn Ross, Jessica Dickinson and Hannah Levesque.
