The 2024 Cross Country season came to a close with the State Meet last Saturday in Wisconsin Rapids.
Junior Luke Strasser finished 81st with a time of 16:51. This was a very good race for Luke. His goal was to break 17 minutes. Last year he finished 169 with a time of 17:49. Luke's hard work over the summer and during the season enabled him to make a big improvement from last season. He lowered his PR by 30 seconds. Who knows what 2025 will bring.
Senior June Lesinski finished 123 with a time of 20:53. She closed out her high school with a very strong race. Her goal was to break 21 minutes. June ran in the State Meet as a Sophomore. She struggled as a Junior, but made up her mind to do the work it would take to get back to State and she ran 19 seconds faster than in 2022.
Freshman Valentina Marini finished 184 with a time of 23:15. Unfortunately for Valentina, she started to develope some hip pain just before the Westosha meet. We backed off on her mileage but it did not help. She could have dropped out of the race, but she did not let the pain stop her from finishing. It was a great effort.
I could not be more proud of the way these athletes competed against the best runners in the State. They are a great example of what hard work can accomplish.
A big THANK YOU to our parents and fans for their support throughout the season.
uThe Janesville Midwest Invitational turned out to be a very good meet for most of our team. Because of several athletes being sick, we were not able to field a full team for any of the races on Saturday.
Junior Luke Strasser continued a very good season finishing 52nd out of 358 runners with a PR of 16:32. He is very close to running a time that will be in the Top 10 of all times. On the JV level, Sophomore Easton Nowak finished 24th out of 447 runners tying his PR of 20:30.
Freshmen Valentina Marini continued to lower her time by placing 39th out of 305 runners with a new PR of 19:49. This time is the 2nd fastest in school history. June Lesinski is having a very good senior season by establishing another PR of 20:37 finishing 70 place in the same race. June's new time puts her number 6 all-time.
We are looking forward to competing at the Cudahy Purgold Invitational next Saturday, October 5 in Sheridan Park. We hope SM fans will turn out to support our hard working runners.
