@ Two Mile Run County Park, 5k -
Greenville junior Jed Christiansen beat 2001Foot Locker Finalist Andy
Weilacher's Rocky Grove course record by 19 seconds, going 15:54. But
Weilacher's old team looked strong behind the senior leadership of
Grant Allen, scoring just 65 points to beat Unior City by 16 with a 2:05
spread. Christiansen said he didn't set out to get the record, but an
opening 5:00 on the very tough openingmile, with only three guys within
striking distance, gave him the push to repeatedly surge in the 2nd
mile.Soph Lindsay Petri of General McLane was a 30-second winner (19:50)
over West Allegheny senior Julie Snyder, but Synder's team took the
girls' team title by seven over General McLane. And for those who didn't
know that Jed Christiansen is not last runner in the family, younger
brother Jake, a 9th grader, finished 13th in the Varsity Seeded Race in
17:42. In two earlier races, 7th grade brother Job won the 2.0 Junior
High Race in just over 11:00; and little sister Jacy took all the 5th
and 6th grade boys in the combined 1.6 Mile Race in 9:55.
