Fern Creek Cross
Country 2018 Week 8 Recap
Atherton Rebellion
Cross Country Classic – 10/13/18
Darkness and cold
temperatures welcomed Fern Creek XC to the 2018 Rebellion Cross Country
Classic. In the Boys Varsity Meet, we
achieved one of our goals in beating Atherton, but fell short of claiming a
trophy by finishing third, rather than in the top-2. With about two weeks left in the season, can
we take another step like we did last year in heading in to Regionals? Only one more meet (JCPS Championships) to
find out before everything counts. On
the Girls side, we were very shorthanded, with only three runners, and Trishna dealing
with a bad cold, but each girl ran well and strong despite being freezing
cold! In the Boys JV race, there were
almost too many PRs to list up here – we’ll get in to it below:
Note: I apologize for not having splits this
week. My hands were freezing and I was
focused on counting the boys places in order to see if we had a chance to
finish top-2.

Team Place = 3rd / 7 Teams
Highlights:
· A pair of top-10 finishes for Dawayad and Jimmy as they
continue to be super consistent in pacing our team. Great work guys, way to represent our squad
up there receiving medals. You can tell
both of these guys really do all of the little things in and out of practice to
be this successful this consistently.
Greatness isn’t an accident!
· Tactically, Youhana
ran a nice race, moving up throughout the packs and gaining places pretty consistently
throughout the course of the race. Nonetheless,
I know that he can go out a bit faster and be a bit tougher – he has it in
him! We need ONE or TWO guys to place
themselves in the low-18s so we can take that next step as a Varsity group.
· As a team, we continued to assert ourselves over
Atherton – a (friendly) regional foe that we will need to beat in a few week. These guys are battling though! Nothing wrong with a friendly rivalry.

Highlights:
· Tayona ran really well and was only a bit off of her
all-time PR!
· A bit of a step back for Kaci and Trishna, but
they still have two races to show what they can do, and Kaci will hopefully be
doing some running with us this week at practice.

Highlights:
· A HUGE Season-PR for Joseph Coyle! He actually
beat Jayden from the Varsity race, and is getting very close to his all-time
PR, despite having to miss the summer due to surgery. It’s awesome to see success for such a great
kid.
· I have no idea what Dain Elmore ate for breakfast, but he needs to keep it up. He took over 3 minutes off of his 5k PR! 3 Minutes!? Dain looked like a completely different
runner today. His stride was longer, he
ran with toughness, and he was rewarded for it.
Look out! Big things ahead for
him!
· A full-minute PR for Levi Raymer! Awesome job! One of our most consistent runners in terms
of being at practice, conditioning, and doing all of the little things that he
needs to be successful. And it shows!
· Nearly a PR for Bul, as he was only two seconds off of
his best time. Just need to be a bit
more consistent in your pacing! But a
great run.
· A THREE MINUTE PR
for Ethan Sells! Whoah!
Much like Dain, he looked like a completely different runner this
week! Great Job Ethan! Onward and upward from here.
· A nice season-pr for Jackson as he looks to close out his Senior Season on a high note.
