Fall races, belated

Due to technical difficulties with the internet connection, posts have been delayed.  Here is a quick re-hash of the fall races:

The CLUB running Austin in!

Shawano Invite:  15 of our runners placed in the top 20!  Will Chelberg was the first boy to cross the finish line; and sister Grace was the first girl.

At Pine Hills Golf Course

Menominee Great Bear race:  We brought home first place trophies for boys and girls teams!  

Oconto Falls Invite:  We placed 2 runners in the top 5, and 5 boys in the top 20.  Grace again was the first girl to cross the finish.  This was a race of grades 3-6.

The WINNERS!

Thanks to a great season!  

End of season party!

We finished the season with another obstacle run, of course, but no couches, TV's or parents in camp chairs this year shooting marshmallows, just hay bales and pumpkins.  Awards were given out to runners who showed extra effort and courage (because it's not easy to come into a group of such talented and seasoned runners):  Mason Ballwahn, Cooper Boucher, Aydan Bystol, Rachel Carrol, Bailey Hendricks, Grant and Thomas Keszo, Macey and Riley Krueger, Madalyn Moesch, Kody Popelka, Kiernan Sheldon, Ryan Schwitzer, Bradyn Wendorff.

The following runners showed persistent effort include:  Andon and Connor Chelberg, Maci and Warner Beyer, Josiah Kuehl, Derek Minch, Trinity Popelka, Anderson Schmidt.

Awards for most incredible improvement in race times this year went to Piper Novitski and Austin Brandt.  Both cut 3 or more minutes from each of the races this year!

The Flying High award, for runners who showed the most dedication and admirable sportsmanship, setting great examples for the rest of the team, went to Will and Grace Chelberg.

We will be taking a break from meeting after school until the spring.  In the meantime, runners are encouraged to cross train and enjoy other sports, and to take advantage of the morning "Walking" Club Tuesdays through Thursdays.  (Jogging is NOT forbidden at the Walking Club!)
