Congratulations to the Running Wildcats on some great competitions the past two weeks. In a season drastically shortened, the Wildcats had one regular season meet before racing into Championship Season. The Wildcats came out of hibernation from their cat dens well rested and brought the intensity into the Dekalb County Championships held at Arabia Mountain. The girls team was led by Claire S and Kate B who finished first and second in the race. They were followed by Emma T (6th), Cici R (8th), Emma P (13th), Ahna L (15th), and Lucy N (17th). In true team fashion, the girls finished with a total score of 30 points to narrowly edge out the competition by a mere 2 points to take the Championship. The boys team finished 4th overall with Ethan A and Michael M earning medals placing 7th and 8th overall. They were followed by Mark W, Wade P, Jack W, Ryan A and Cameron T. The boys team finished with a very low score of 99 points. Almost every runner had a personal record on the course and made some strong gains since the previous meet. Thanks to all the alternate runners and parents that came out to cheer on the team!
The Wildcats next race at the Region 7-AAAAAAA Championship Meet Saturday October 24th at Tribble Mill Park in Lawrenceville, GA. The race times are 8:30JVG, 9:00JVB, 10:00VG, and 10:30VB. The Wildcats are excited to race against new competition at the 7A level. Spectators will be allowed at this meet but are reminded to social distance and wear masks. Go Wildcats!
