Yesterday was our first home meet of the season, held against Tome. The sunny, warm weather, combined with the familiar course, made for a great race.
Alternate Captain Faith Hollister ('22) won the girls' race with a time of 23:56. Fiona Fawcett ('22) came in not far behind her, running 24:48 to finish in third place. Captain Katie Rippon ('20) and Celia Pope ('24) took the fourth and fifth places, finishing in 25:10 and 25:27, respectively. We only have four girls, but with a fifth "ghost runner" in the last spot in the race, we won with a score of 24-32.
Kai Schmeidel ('23) won the boys' race, running the course in just 20:47. Alternate Captain Bryce Pope ('23) finished in third place and in 21:49. Judah Deitrich ('21) crossed the finish in 22:56, placing fourth. Josiah Deitrich ('24) and Captain Marc Sherman ('20) finished not far behind, with times of 24:12 and 25:09, respectively. Edward Scott ('24) and Anthony Dorno ('24) rounded out the DVCS boys, running their respective times of 27:52 and 29:49. Our boys' team won with a final score of 25-30.
This was a great race for the DVCS Titans. We put in our best effort, and lot of us improved our times significantly compared to last week's race. Looking ahead, next week is a Fellowship of Christian Athletes meet out in Maryland. I don't think any of us have run the course before, so it should be an exciting race experience. It is hard to believe there are already just five weeks of the season left, but I look forward to seeing what we can accomplish as we continue to work hard as a team.
