After being delayed a week due to a tragic event involving one of the other schools, our meet against Conrad and Delaware Military Academy was held on Oct. 17. The Banning Park course was a little confusing because sections of it cross open fields or areas with no clear landmarks, but a number of spotters placed around the park ensured that everyone was able to stay on course.
The girls race was held first and was won by Heather McClure of Conrad, who finished in 20:38. Of the Red Lion girls, Hannah Ye ('21) and Faith Hollister ('22) finished in the top ten, placing seventh and ninth respectively. Katelyn Walker ('19) finished in 13th place with a time of 24:17, followed closely by Fiona Fawcett ('22) three seconds behind in 15th place. Cathy Nicholson ('21), Captain Naomi Mengel ('18), and Katie Rippon ('20) finished in 17th, 19th, and 20th place respectively. Abby Phillips ('21) and Captain Anna Teather ('21) finished in 23rd and 26th.
Zach Martinez of DMA won the boys race with a time of 18:04. Josh Deitrich ('19) was not far behind, finishing in fourth place in 18:26. Matteo D'Andrea ('20) finished next in 17th place with a time of 20:55. Spencer Armstrong ('19) finished just behind in 21:11, followed by Captain Luke Sherman ('18) in 24th, Dennis Nicholson ('19) in 27th, Nick Yu ('18) in 31st, and Marc Sherman ('20) in 32nd. Ryan Silver ('20) and Richard Turley ('22) finished within a second of each other at 23:17 and 23:18 respectively. Ryan Cooper ('21), Captain Brandan Leauby ('18), Micah Pope ('19), and Jesse Ma ('20) rounded out the boys finishers.
Although we didn't win this meet, we ran well and posted solid times. As this was our last "regular" meet of the season, we're excited to prepare for the next item on the agenda: our conference championship race. From there, it's on to county and state championships!
