Fern Creek Cross Country 2018 Week 5 Recap
Berea Community Invitational – 9/2218
Finally!
Cross Country Weather! From the moment I
stepped outside yesterday morning I had a feeling that our team was going to
show up ready to go Saturday Morning.
All week we had talked about doing the little things right in order to
give ourselves a chance to do great things on Saturday. We were rewarded with a FIRST PLACE finish in
both the Boys Varsity and JV runs, and tons of PRs and great races on the girls
side. Congrats on a great week!

The design of this
course made it nearly impossible to get 2 mile times, so unfortunately I only
have your 1 mile and final marks.
Team Place = 1st
/ 14 Teams
Highlights:
· No need to even break down the highlights
by individual this week – winning the team title was a true combined effort
from all of our top-7. You all put
yourselves in position to do great things and you followed through by putting
together great races across the board.
Dawayad went out with the lead group, helping to push the pace. Even though he faded just a bit, he still ran
under 17:00 and gave us a top-3 finisher.
Jimmy, not far behind, ran his second-fastest time and gave us two
scorers in the top-2. We do need to
mention the ridiculous PR from Greg… taking nearly a minute and a half off of
his previous PR. He broke both the 20:00
and 19:00 minute barriers at once!
Crazy. Justin ran tough and gave
us four solid finishers under 19:00, posting his second-fastest time ever,
while Hayden also ran his second-fastest mark.
Youhana continues to round in to form, and as his leg is feeling better
it’s very obvious that he is going to be a big part of this varsity group this
year. Sam rounded out the top group,
pushing himself to pass several guys from the teams we were competing with –
adding to their team score and giving us a more comfortable margin of victory,
while also setting a new personal best time. You all played a huge role in our
win, congrats on a job well done.

Team Place = No Team
Score (need 5 finishers)
Highlights:
· Tayona was absolutely moving! A huge PR of nearly a minute and a half, on a
course with rolling hills and LOTS of mud.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see her smash that 24-minute mark by the end
of the season. Keep it up girl! Your attitude and work ethic are amazing.
· Kaci Dodd was back with us after a week off and our
team was much better because of it. She
posts over a two minute PR!
What. That’s unheard of! Great job!
· Back in the 26 minute range where she
belongs was Trishna, giving us a
solid top-3 in the Varsity race. She ran
extremely well and has improved so much since the beginning of the year.
· We are very proud of Karuna for the way she ran despite dealing with cramps and hurting
from the 1-mile mark onwards. Despite
that she nearly ran her best time and finished the race very strong. We will get the cramping issue solved and you
have great races ahead of you!

Team Place = Boys – 1st
/ 4 Teams
Girls – No team score
Highlights:
· Congrats to Jayden Jones for WINNING the 4k race! You ran very well but I still think you can
do more to push yourself!
· JV athletes – check out the 5k equivalent
times, based on your 4k performance. I
think those are times that we can all strive for over these next few
weeks. The difference between an OK race
and a great race usually has to do with how much mental and physical discomfort
we are willing to endure. I think we can
get several of you boys under the 20:00 mark!
· Great job in finishing your races
girls! Those medals look great!
