With both boys’ and girls’ teams advancing to Sectionals after 2nd place finishes, our cross country student-athletes put their hard work and dedication on display at Regionals. The girls started Saturday morning off well. Abby Litwiller paced the group with a season best time of 19:18 for 9th place. The girls ran tough and were only outdone by a strong #5 ranked Eureka team. Our 2-7 runners had great performances across the board: Anna Bieber (20:04), Chrystal Cornwell (20:08), Rachel Andris (20:27), Amelia Kistner (20:47), Madison Bales (20:47), and Raquel Birky (21:01).
The boys followed suit with Owen Dare leading the group in a personal best of 15:42 for 4th place. The race saw #9 U-High narrowly beat out our Spartans by 12 points. Our 2-7 runners similarly saw success on the boys’ side: Anthony Ragland (15:54), Logan Demling (16:06), Carter Phillips (16:33), Caden Clark (16:46), Cooper Phillips (18:10), and Brad Schardan (18:30).
We saw multiple season and all-time bests across the team that allowed for a 1-5 spilt of only 1:29 on the girls’ side and 1:03 from the boys.
Looking forward to Sectionals at Elmwood on Saturday, our runners seek to stamp their ticket to State and continue to see their efforts being rewarded.
OHS students attended the Future Educator Conference at Illinois State University. Students learned from multiple presenters through the day and witnessed a performance from the Gamma Phi Circus! The future of education is bright with this group!
