Cross Country Winners

Meade and Wells

Wet grounds made for challenging races today at the UTSA Invitational Cross Country meet, held at Brooks City Base.  Sophomore Austin Wells led the Varsity Boys, placing 7th in a fast 15:49.  Junior Aidan Pierce finished next in 17:54, followed by two freshman, Nicholas Moseley 19:05 and Daniel Carcamo 19:11, then sophomore Harry MacTough 19;13 and junior Mark Pena 19:15.

Senior Glynnis Meade and junior Shantel Swift ran in the Girls Gold division, which for the first time was a 5k (3.1 miles) like the boys.  Glyn finished 9th in 19:18 and Shantel was 11th in 19:26, just missing out on a medal.   The remaining Varsity Girls ran in the 5A 2 mile race – freshman Amanda De La Fuente in 13:46, senior Katherine Ritchie in 13:55 and sophomore Valerie Vacek in 14:23.
Austin, Glynnis and Shantel have now met the National 5K Silver Standard of 16:30 / 19:45 – congratulations!

Junior Varsity participated in the Central Catholic Relays at Mission Country Park earlier in the week, actually passing a baton between the 3-member teams, girls each running 1.5 miles and boys 2 miles.  Next Saturday, all runners will be at the SAISD meet on the grounds of the San Antonio State School.

CROSS COUNTRY ATHLETES EXCEL AT FIRST MEET

by on Sep.04, 2010, under Cross Country

Southwest Meet winners

Wells - Swift - Meade

The Cross Country season is off and running!  Rain canceled the Southwest meet last year, and the team wondered if Friday’s showers would cause a repeat as the course is below street level.  But Saturday dawned with clear, 70 degree skies – a beautiful day for early September in San Antonio.  Taking advantage of the situation were a trio of Cougars – Glynnis Meade was 3rd (11:05.3) and Shantel Swift, 4th (11:06.8) for the girls race (approx 1.9 miles), and Austin Wells, 4th(14:52.4) for the boys race (approx 2.95 miles).  The girls placed 7th out of 26 teams, with scoring added by Katherine Ritchie, Amanda De La Fuentes, and Valerie Vacek.  Lauren Porter and Catherine Seifert rounded out the Varsity team.  The boys team were 15th out of 33 teams, with Tyrell Lewis, Aidan Pierce, Harry MacTough, and Nicholas Moseley scoring, followed by Daniel Carcamo and JR Guajardo.  Both teams include several new runners, including a few Freshman running as Cougars for the first time.  It was an exciting day for all!
