End of Season News
The 2011 Cross Country season was a huge success. With 34 runners, many consistently hit personal best times throughout the season and overcame challenging obstacles – injuries. Fourteen of these runners qualified to run in the state meet by meeting the team requirements – boys having a 6:30 base pace and girls having a 7:30 base pace. At the state meet, six runners set their best personal times; Matthew Gomez dropped 54 seconds, Jon Farr dropped 41 seconds, Adam Taberner dropped 39 seconds, Xavier Cortez dropped 33 seconds, Kelli McKenzie dropped 31 seconds and Jon Foo dropped 19 seconds. Both teams placed 10th at the state meet with 30 schools competing.
The 2011 Cross Country season was also a record breaking season. Two runners, Lindsay Winkel and Stan Stanulonis, broke Faith West CC records set in 2008 and 1999. Lindsay broke Jessica Stewart’s 2 mile record of 13:30 with a 12:55 and Stan Stanulonis broke Justin Harrelson’s and Joel Lowry’s 5K time of 19:00 with 18:52.
Coach McKenzie and I are looking forward to next year’s season and know it too will be a record breaking year! KEEP RUNNING!
