Hey everyone, so sorry that I haven't blogged about any of the past 4 races! I've been a little busy with homework and whatnot! But it's the weekend, so I'll try to make up some lost ground.
Pekin Fresh/Soph Invite:
This Invite was a great one to watch, and a proud day for the underclassmen runners of Morton! The girls race was up first, and out of the 10 or so Morton runners, 5 of them got in the top 20, earning medals for themselves, which is quite awesome! Next the 2 freshman guy runners ran, and out of those 2 freshman guys, they both metaled and got in the top 20! Finally, the sophomore guys ran, running hard and showing everyone just whats in store for the upcoming years! 7 of the 8 sophomore guys ran in that race, and we all got in the top twenty, earning medals as well! A great day for Morton indeed!
Woodruff Invite:
Even though the school of Woodruff is no longer an actual thing, the Invites long legacy carried on this past Saturday, for a fast day of running for Morton. Morton ran in a total of 6 races, with the girls varsity first up. In this race, Ashley Pribble got 8th place, and her twin sister, Caitlin, got 15th place, earning the first medals of the day for Morton. The girls varsity team got 16th out of the 37 teams at the meet. In the guys varsity, Piper got 33rd, Bradford got 36th, and Joe got 45th, with Piper and Bradford earning more medals for the team. The guys varsity team got 12th out of the 36 teams there. More than half of the entire team got PRs during these races, so a shout-out goes out to all of them as well!
Senior Night at Home:
This race was an interesting one, not going to lie! The girls race was first, and it was a hard race to watch. The Washington girls had a strong showing with their girls running in a group of 5-6 girls in a strong pack. EP had a nice showing as well, with their girls running strong and fast in the top 10. The Morton girls did pretty amazing too, with Caitlin winning the meet overall, but I'm not sure, that night is a lil blurry in my head. The guys had a little pre-race fun with the Washington guys, who didn't seem to be taking the race that seriously though. The guys ran hard throughout the race, with the race being more of a strategy race though! After the race was our senior night, with a ton of awesome food to eat! Thanks to all the parents who helped out with it too! One favorite memory of that night was the fact that half of the seniors' favorite memories were of Nick Steffans immortal moment of 'SpIIIders'!
Dunlap Invite:
This race took place this morning, or more like didn't take place. The race was rained out and cancelled after an hour of sitting on the bus.
Well that's all for now! We have a race this Tuesday at Dunlap, so make sure to come out and show some support! Also, make sure to check www.fartlekphotography.com to see awesome pictures of the races by Steve Gifford.
