CHL Volunteers Needed

As the designated host school for this year's CHL Championships we are in charge of providing course marshals.  If you are interested in helping for the high school, middle school, or both races please send me an email.  I am meeting with Bill Bretz, the course supervisor, on Tuesday, and will get more information then.

District Championships Update

The District race on 10/20 officially has been moved to Mason.  A race schedule will be updated soon.  Although this is the same location as the Mason Invitational, the course used in previous years for the District Open race will be used, not the Mason Invitational course.  This means no straw bales and no creek crossing as the course is basically 2.5 loops around the top of Corwin-Nixon Park.

St. X Invitational - 9/29

We will race at the following times on Saturday at St. Xavier High School:

Girls Open -- 10:10

Girls Varsity -- 10:45

Boys Varsity -- 11:45

Boys Open -- 12:45


Bus leaves @ 8:30

Practice - 9/26

On Wednesday we will practice at 9am at WWPC off Lakeridge Dr.  Please meet in the parking lot as we did when we practiced there over the summer and we will run on the trail.

Troy Invitational - 9/22 **Updated**

We were just made aware of schedule changes for the Troy Invitational.  Please see below for the latest update...

Saturday's race times @ Troy (parking is available around Hobart Arena on Adams St. & Troy Memorial Stadium on Staunton Rd.):

Varsity Boys -- 9:00

Varsity Girls -- 9:40

Reserve Boys -- 10:20

The course is very fan friendly.  You can see most of the action from the top of the levee overlooking the flood plain where the race starts.

Eaton Invitational Results

Dozens of our runners took advantage of the best racing conditions of the season and posted season best times at Eaton on Saturday morning.  The girls team took 5th out of 22 teams and the boys team followed up with a 2nd place finish.  Full results are available on the Eaton Cross Country website.

If you access our boys individual records you will see two new additions to the top 20.  Ben Stites entered the list and Ian Goertzen jumped up five places!

Also, congratulations to the jv boys on the finest team average time (19:28) I can find in recent school open race history.  This mark has only been bested at the post-season CHL championships.

Practice - 9/17

Monday's practice will be @ 9am.

Parents: free parking is available @ Eaton High School, and they will have a bus shuttle.  It is about 1/4 mile from the park so you can also walk if you would like.  Limited handicapped parking is available in the park if needed.  Fort. St. Clair Park is one of the season's best venues so we hope you can make the trip to support the team!
