A Great Day at Luther!

A particularly bright spot in the day's competition was the junior high boys performances placing them third out of 8 teams, primarily large schools. Awesome!  Jadon Ratelle led the way for the Tigers on the 2 mile course in a time of 12:42.8 and close behind was Chase Neubauer in a time of 12:49. Dylan Yennie came in at 13:21 and Ethan Flicek in 13:41 with Caleb Goff rounding out the top five scorers in 13:45.  Their time between the first and fifth runners was the second smallest gap out of the top 8 schools.  Way to pack together guys!

The rest of the results, individual and team, can be found at the 2017 Results link to the right or by clicking here.

The varsity girls placed 9th out of 26 teams and had very strong performances! The schools ahead of them are large schools so they had great competition and a large field to compete with to prepare for those big meets ahead.  

The ladies were led by Kailee Malone in 19:59.7 with Abby Orvis close behind in 20:01.4.  The runners scored 18-19-37-72-84(96) out of 176 total runners! Awesome job! Their time spread between first and fifth runners was 2:20; better than three teams placing ahead of them.  Well done ladies!

The boys varsity placed 17th out of 24 teams.  We had several very strong performances with Isaiah Scruggs leading the pack in 17:17 and Jakob Ratelle following in 18:09 beating his goal time for the day.  Their finishing places were:
14-43-114-124-127 out of 158 runners.  Good efforts!

After the meet we enjoyed a pizza lunch at Mabe's Pizza followed by a stop at the Whippy Dip for ice cream.  Thank you to our Booster Budget for these extras for the kids!  It was a fun and productive day all around!

This week we have junior high at Byron at 4:30.  Varsity and JV at Mayo with the younger ones able to cheer them on if they'd like.  If academics is becoming an issue for anyone, stay in school on optional days!

Friday is the homecoming run for 9th - 12th graders.  I will confirm with the athletes what time they need to be to school on Friday a.m.  After the homecoming run, we gather for the parade by 4:30 in the MS parking lot. Following the parade is the football game and CONCESSIONS!  Be ready for a big week!
