Congrats to the boys and girls cross country teams for phenomenal efforts at the Eagle Invitational on Saturday.  The meet included 7 of the top 15 teams in the State of Wisconsin!

Running on a top 5 course in the entire country, the girls team finished 13th out of 16 invitation only teams.  Hope Marshall led the girls with an outstanding 8th place finish to break the SCHOOL RECORD!  Her amazing record setting time, 15 minutes, 13 seconds for 2 and 1/2 miles.  Monica Elwood-Lowe had a huge PR to break 17 minutes, and Maya Matabele also PR'd with her 17:38 performance.  A special congrats to the PR efforts of Carloine Froh and Madeline Green who once again led our JV squad. The boys team finished 5th of 16 in the powerhouse field.  Our boys beat the current #9 team and the current #15 team in the state en route to their finish.  David Stilin led the way with a 5th place finish of 15 minutes and 57 seconds for 3 and 1/8 miles....a blazing time.  His teammates were not far behind.....Josh Gilly finished in 25th place with a new lifetime best of 16:45 (afterwads he was carted away from the finish line by an ambulance for complications with his bronchitis that he has been running through).  Nathaniel Sullivan also PR'd with a 16:48 and Eric Anderson and Paul Bolanowski demolished their Personal bests....Eric running 16:48 (a time that ranks 8th in the state among sophomores) and Paul running 17:06, a 32 second PR.  Kudos to Freshman Logan Eggert for his huge PR of 18:13!  The JV boys finished 8th at the meet and were led by the return of Sebastian Van Oudenallen who is recovering well from an MCL injury and Alex Loomis who broke 19 minutes for the first time!  Way to go guys...the PR's are too numerous to mention, but we're proud of each and everyone of you.  Way to go King!
