Week Recap

We had a great time at our last NLCC dual on Tuesday. The Boys beat both Grant and Wauconda while the Girls split. We had many season and personal bests, which is exciting as we want to be running our best at this time of year. With so many season and personal bests at Wauconda, we are firing on all cylinders heading into the NLCC meet. Earning season bests were: Ethan Schommer, Ty Dwyer, Jay Patel, & Daniel Gfesser! Earning Personal Bests were: Gavin Murrie, Ethan Goode, Jacob Mueller, Ramon Perez, Ethan Carr, Evan Selby, Ian Halterman, Jackson Sayre, Jack Lindner, Gretchen Good, Kayla Dieringer, Sophia Goodale, Sarah Lucier, Danika Dortch, Lauren Orie, & Meghan Goossen. Awesome work by our athletes and very exciting heading into this week! The NLCC Championship meet is a major focus for our program, so it's exciting for us to be racing so well going into this meet. It's all coming together!!
