Summary
The pre-race hype was all about the girls' race, both team and
individual. However, St. Joseph Academy turned the race into their
own personal showcase by outrunning a quality field that included
state-ranked teams and a defending state champion. Senior, Rachel
Mistur, led her underclass teammates with a 7th place finish in
19:15 as they swept past the Mustangs of the host school. The race
came down to a battle to see which team would walk off with the
runner-up trophy.
Beaumont, a reigning state championship team, could do no better
than fourth in the tough field, but was appeased with having the
individual titleist. Sophomore, Maggie Infeld, smashed the meet
record with a blistering 18:16. Infeld and FL finalist, Michelle
Sikes of Lakewood, ran the course shoulder to shoulder for three
miles before Infeld was able to sprint home with a hard-fought win.
In the boys' varsity race, Hudson kept on rolling. The Explorers
have bounced back from their outing in the Meet of Champions at
Hilliard Davidson with three straight invitational wins. Junior,
Wesley Smith, scored an individual victory in a meet record 15:43
on the soggy course, slowed and muddied by a 14 hour rainfall the
previous night.
Smith was challenged briefly by runner-up Glenn Collins of Hoover,
but was able to take control of the race at his discretion. He got
great support from his teammates as they ran a 34 second split from
#2 to #5 to overwhelm a very good field. The top three teams were
recently ranked in the top 8 in the Ohio Coaches XC Poll.
