This past Monday, October 21, was a dual meet against Avon Grove Charter School at their home course. The course was a fairly flat two loops around Goddard Park in West Grove, PA. Each loop circled around a field before taking a wide trail through the woods and coming out again on a gravel and asphalt path. Despite this being our third race within a week, we pushed through it and had a strong race.
For the boys' race, Alternate Captain Bryce Pope ('23) pulled out first on our team, finishing in 20:51. Kai Schmeidel ('23) came in just behind him in 20:53. Josiah Deitrich ('24) crossed the line with a time of 22:17. Captain Marc Sherman ('20) and Judah Deitrich ('21) were not able to make it to the race due to other commitments, but Edward Scott ('24) rose to the challenge and ran a new personal best of 23:59. Anthony Dorno ('24) rounded out our five guys with a 25:38 finish. The DVCS boys tied 28-28.
Alternate Captain Faith Hollister ('22) won the girls' race with a time of 24:36. Celia Pope ('24) finished just behind her in 24:38. Captain Katie Rippon ('20) took fourth place overall with a 24:45 finish, and Fiona Fawcett ('22) crossed the line in 25:42 and fifth place. DVCS won the girls' race with a score of 12-24.
It's hard to believe this season has gone by so quickly. We have seen some improvements and have grown so much as a team. We have just one more meet left: the county championship meet at Winterthur. We are entering "taper mode" and have a few more practices, then we will go for it at the final race of the 2019 season. Until then, Go Titans!
