The Spartans were met with a beautiful day and a tremendous course to race on Saturday morning. Our teams were set to qualify for Sectionals and both sides accomplished that task. The Spartan ladies kicked off the running success by giving #2 State-ranked Eureka a great competition. We were only 12 points off with 57 to Eureka’s 45. Amelia Kistner made a sensational turnaround from last season running on the same course. She was 2 minutes faster than last year while running 18:48 and earning a 4th place medal! Emma Swartzendruber, new to postseason racing, finished second for our squad in 19:15! Our scorers were rounded out by Anna Bieber, Chrystal Cornwell, and Abby Litwiller (19:39, 20:03, and 20:24). Cam Lawson ran closely to our top 5 with a time of 20:40, and Rachel Andris followed in 22:41. The boys’ side outperformed rankings while finishing 4th behind a strong U-High squad, Eureka, and El Paso-Gridley. We narrowly beat Heyworth by 3 points (173-176). The Spartans were a tale of two tight packs with one strong center piece in their race Saturday. Logan Demling, Cooper Phillips, and Caden Clark were within 18 seconds of one another (16:31, 16:35, and 16:49). C.J. Moore was the glue that stuck the packs together with a time of 17:36. Our second pack saw Logan Farquhar move well, leading Jacob Lawless and Evan Petri to a 54 second split between the 3 runners (18:48, 19:27, 19:42). Spartans XC is back to racing on Wednesday for our JV runners at Maxwell Park in Normal and at Sectionals in Elmwood on Saturday morning.

Take Breaks
Needing help with child care? CCAP makes it possible for families and guardians who qualify to receive financial help paying for child care costs so they can work, attend training, or school. All families pay a portion of the cost of child care as a co-payment (based on family size and income). CCRRN.com for details.
