POCATELLO MEET @ ISU COURSE

Last Friday the Cardinal Cross Country teams ran in their first meet of the season at the Pocatello Meet held on the ISU Cross Country Course. Both the boys and girls teams ran well and I was happy with the effort of everyone. It was a TOUGH course on a HOT DRY DAY. Despite these tough conditions, I didn't hear one bit of negativity only excitement to take on the tough course and conquer it...GREAT JOB!!!

Meet Highlights:

Girls team finished in 1st place ahead of 5A Idaho Falls and Madison and 4A Pocatello, Blackfoot, and Rigby.

B. Siepert earned the individual first place honors nearly a minute ahead of 2nd place. D. Deno finished as Soda #2 and ran a gutsy race as did XC newcomer D. Froehlich who finished in 9th. Both helped give the Lady Cards some added depth for the 2009 season. For her efforts, D. Deno earned the weekly team motivation award.

In the boys race junior M. Bowman finished as the top Soda runner passing several runners on the 2000 meter second loop. Bowman finished in 12th place overall and showed the benefit of his hard work over the summer. Bowman earned the weekly team motivation award for the boys. A. Petersen finished as Soda #3 and moved up from where he has been running in practice.

Both teams welcome 20 plus teams to the Kelly Park Nordic Ski Trails for the 2009 Cardinal Classic. Races start at 9:00 am for the Citizens Race, 10:00 for the Middle School, 11:00 for the J.V., and 12:20 for the Varsity.
