DVCS vs. Fellowship of Christian Athletes and Senior Night

On Tuesday, October 15, we hosted a dual meet against the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. The weather was beautiful, and our home course has become a favorite for many of our runners. We had an enjoyable racing experience.

The girls' team once again swept the top four spots. Alternate Captain Faith Hollister ('22) came in first with a time of 23:33. Fiona Fawcett ('22) was close behind, finishing in 23:59. Celia Pope ('24) pulled ahead of Captain Katie Rippon ('20), and they finished in 24:47 and 24:49, respectively.

Kai Schmeidel ('23) finished first for the Titans and third in the boys' race, crossing the line in 20:33. Alternate Captain Bryce Pope ('23) followed in 20:40. Judah Deitrich ('21) finished in 22:12, placing seventh. Josiah Deitrich ('24) followed three places behind with a time of 23:18. Captain Marc Sherman ('20) finished his in 24:38. Anthony Dorno ('24) and Edward Scott ('24) rounded out our boys' team, running 25:17 and 26:49, respectively.

This was our last home meet, so we took some time after the race to recognize our seniors. Coach recognized Captains Marc Sherman and Katie Rippon for their encouragement and contributions to the team over the years. Thank you to all who came out to that race to support us, as well as the parents, teammates, and coaches who made this possible!
