Yorkville Middle School Cross Country

Troy Invite Results

September 15, 2012

If people haven't noticed that YMS cross country has turned into a powerful program they sure must have noticed after the Troy Invite. Last season was the first time a Yorkville team had won a trophy at the Troy Invite and this season we earned a trophy in 3 out of our 4 races!

The 7th grade girls team finished in 7th place led by Maggie Klemm who finished the 2-mile race in 22nd place with a time of 13:08. Maggie was followed by Lindsay Harrison (39th, 13:40), Tayla Van Leeve (52nd, 14:21), Emily Titus (75th, 14:52), Haylie Wolf (100th, 15:22), Anna Doty (102nd, 15:23), Autumn Vest (107th, 15:31), Emily Berge (129th, 16:04), Kylie LaSanska (160th, 16:35), and Kelly Romano (170th, 16:46).

The 7th grade boys finished in 3rd place, which marked the first time a Yorkville boys team took home a trophy at the Troy Invite. They were led by medal winners Patrick Black (11th, 12:02) and Zack Price (17th, 12:14). Following Patrick and Zack were Andrew Madej (45th, 13:05), Ben Summers (49th, 13:09), Eddie Kilgore (57th, 13:16), Cole Johnson (69th, 13:30), Hunter Negron (113th, 14:16), Rio Lara (116th, 14:20), Jake Holter (168th, 15:17), and Jake Bivens (193rd, 15:48).

The 8th grade girls won their race with 105 points, which far outpaced second place Homer's 175 points. It was the largest margin of victory at the Troy Invite. The Lady Foxes were led by medal winners Alexis Grandys (7th, 12:17) and Maddie Dearborn (18th, 12:35). Alexis and Maddie were supported by Dominique Anderson (35th, 13:12), Julia Megazzini (36th, 13:19), Nicole Doles (37th, 13:19), Piper Buyansky (67th, 13:51), Sydney Anderson (81st, 14:03), Natalie Hrcek (167th, 15:27, Emily Hawker (207th, 16:03), and Sierra Anderson (214th, 16:09).

Finally, the 8th grade boys were involved in the race with the smallest margin of victory. They finished in 2nd place to Channahon by a single point. The boys were led by medal winners Alexx Nauman (10th, 11:14) and Darien Ramos (15th, 11:33). Rounding out the team were Dawson Diederich (26th, 11:45), Jacob Love (44th, 12:10), Triston Robb (59th, 12:22), Grant Bowers (73rd, 12:35), Trent Richmond (76th, 12:41), Evan Jaros (88th, 12:50), Lucas Farren (95th, 12:54), and Karson Manukas (140th, 13:25).

Will Tiger Trail Invite have the same schools as last year or even more this year. thanks

User Comment Coach Miller on September 19, 2012

Simmons is usually good about getting us results so we expect to have them today. No one will get PRs, though, since the course was 1.75 miles.

User Comment emily hawker on September 18, 2012

i won't be at practice tomorrow

User Comment Coach Miller on September 18, 2012

Just make sure we are saying things to encourage walkers. Everything you said about walking is correct but make sure you encourage the walkers and don't discourage them.

Whoever wrote the long comment about the walkers at practice should win the comment of the year award.

User Comment Piper:) on September 17, 2012

I look so weird in that photo.....

User Comment Anonymous on September 17, 2012

fyi: for those that forgot; walking doesn't help. no matter what you say, ("Well it saves energy", "I get better times when I walk", "It's as fast as when I'm running", "It's only practice") it doesn't help you build endurance, win races, or build muscle. If you notice, the top runners DO NOT walk during a race (obviously) or during practice. If you walk you use different muscles so if you walk during practice, you don't build muscle to help you run faster. Lots of people walk even though everyone or almost everyone has earned their uniform. So my question is; are you not trying during practice, or did you not actually run the full time when you "earned" you uniform?

We probably weren't close in the team standings since we didn't have a 5th/6th grade team.
