Dixie All-Comers

Some clouds rolled in and made Tuesday a great evening for racing at the Region South Course held at Bloomington Hills North Park.
The Youngsters started the team off well in the middle school race.  Sergio D. led the race throughout and ended up winning by 5 seconds with a killer kick in the last 150 meters.  Dallin G. also ran very well.  The ladies were led by Alli Peterson who placed 3rd overall in the girls and Josie Bushar who had her strongest race this season.
With the Varsity girls pulled from the race, Kaelie Gillespie paced our girls team over the 3 mile course.  She placed 23rd overall and ran a solid 23:30 on this very difficult course.
The boys were fighting for the remaining 3 spots on the Varsity trip to Murray this coming weekend.  Going into the race, there were 8 or so boys who had a good shot at the spots, and 4 of them ran together the whole race - making for a very exciting finish.  They all ran very well and finished 6-8 overall led by Taylor Abel, the Braden Johnston, Mathew Young and Colton Bowler.  Nick Hill finished 5th for the team (14th overall) and rounded out our team scoring.  We don't have the official results, but it will be very close between PV and Cedar for the win - pretty impressive without our top 4 runners.
