Time Trial and Rankings

Monday we had our preseason time trial at Bloomington Hills North Park.  With decent temps and humidity down a little, even very wet and long grass was bearable and some good performances were recorded.  For a full list of results check out athletic.net.  The boys started us off well with solid running from some of our top guys and a lot of good JV times.  (The following records and comparisons are based upon the preseason time trials only, not time trials run later in the season.) Nathan set a new record with a 10:30 and looked very strong throughout.  Scottie hit our 3rd fastest time on the 2 mile course with Mikey not far behind.  Comparative to 2015 and '16 (years where we placed 2nd at State) the team times were just 9 and 11 seconds slower, but we had a little larger spread that needs to be brought down with our 4 and 5, as well our 6 and 7 and our top JV guys.  The girls saw similar results as Jessica set a new school record (also by a second) and Rylee H. recorded our 3rd fastest time.  Alli pushed strong to make this the first time we recorded 3 girls under 13:00 on this course.  Again comparing to '15 and '16 years where we took 2nd (really?) and 1st in State we were around 20 seconds slower and 20 seconds faster, respectively.  Again a little larger spread held us back, but we saw great things from that 4-10'ish crew that leaves us very hopefully.  One of the best things is that our JV crews all put in times near or quicker than many of those same spots on the team from the past few years.  This progress shows what a hard summer of running will do.
