DVCS vs. Caravel Academy

Today, the DVCS Titans took on Caravel Academy in a dual meet at Lums Pond State Park. The combination of a fairly easy, mostly shaded course and beautiful early fall weather made for a wonderful race.

Alternate Captain Faith Hollister ('22) was the first girl to finish overall with a time of 24:00. Captain Katie Rippon ('20) finished in 25:42, and Fiona Fawcett ('22) came in not far behind her in 26:40. Celia Pope ('24) rounded out the DVCS girls with a time of 28:11.

Alternate Captain Bryce Pope ('23) was the first DVCS runner to cross the line, finishing in 22:23. Judah Deitrich ('21) came in less than a minute behind, with a time of 23:12. Anthony Dorno ('24) and Edward Scott ('24) finished in 29:10 and 30:15, respectively. Captain Marc Sherman ('20), Kai Schmeidel ('23), and Josiah Deitrich ('24) all missed the race due to illness. We hope they will be back for Friday's race.

Well, that's a wrap for this meet! We did quite well in our second meet of the season. Though this meet was originally scheduled for Wednesday, I think moving it a up a day will actually benefit us as we look toward our next race. Today was a chance to get to know the course (or know it better). We enjoyed this opportunity, to say the least.

This coming Friday, we will be running in the Middletown Invitational at Lums Pond. The girls' race will be held at 4:30, and the boys' race at 5. I encourage you all to come out and support Titans Cross Country!
