North Finishes SWYL Duel Season 4 - 2

Back on Sept. 30th, most of the duel meets were postponed due to the really hot weather. Today the North vs Frontier at South meet was contested on a Monday afternoon that was ideal cross country weather. North boys and girls beat both schools in this double dual format and now have 4 - 2 records in the SWYL.

Frontier defeated both South squads and both Frontier squads finished the season 3 - 3.

South boys were 1 - 5 and the girls were 0 - 6 this fall.

As was the case last year, the Wolf pack has still not found a fifth man which is crucial if they want to win a valley title and qualify for valley. Their 5 man spread was 2:40 where McFarland's was 37 seconds.

But for now, I must say breaking 84 minutes is great for local distance running because I have only recorded McFarland achieving this milestone in recent memory. At this meet Ridgeview beat McFarland 83:14 to 83:25 but if they ran in the same race, Mcfarland would win with their pack style finish:

BOYS LARGE SCHOOL VARSITY - A friend of Andy Noise won the race in 15:13, Justin Vilhauer came to town last spring to run the Lee Adams Open and has become friends with our local athletes. As a sophomore he ran 9:02 for the 3200 and this year he will be gunning for sub nine.

Behind Ridgeview in the team standings was Highland whose trio of Van Zandt (16:53), Colin Lewis (17:12) and Thomas Turner (17:14) also ran a good team time with their other scoring runners posting:

• Ivan Esiasquiv Highland 17:30
• Mike Jungo Highland 17:37

Their team time of 86:22 which is very close to their best time they posted at valley in 2007. Their 44 second spread is also very promising to their pursuit of a valley title this year.
