On to State - Region Championship results!
The Tiger harriers ran exceptionally well at today's Region championships at Vaughn's Creek. The short version: the girls' team finished 4th, with Liv O'Hara and Madeleine Wiseman advancing to next week's State championships with their individiual 4th and 7th place finishes, respectively. The boys' team finished 2nd, just 7 points out of 1st, led by 3 All-Region performers in Jack Fruin (4th), Drew Zwerner (5th), and Griffin Davidson (12th), and the team advances to the State meet. The JV runners also crushed it, with Henry Baxter, James Little, and Binyam Dunne taking 1-3 with Cooper Wengraf-Simons right behind in 5th.

Longer version:
A beautiful day for spectators (as it featured blue skies, fall foliage, and some great racing on a challenging course) started with the girls' race. Madeleine and Liv stayed near the front of the race early on, with Liv able to move up well as the race progressed. Behind the top two, Norah Harrison, Jackie Seale, and Adelaide Ritter ran near each other the whole way (all in impressive times on a tough course), as did Nicola Auman and Laura Fonseca. The girls, in the toughest Region in the State, finished 4th, just one spot out of the auto-qualifying spots for next week's State meet.
Things got pretty warm for the boys' varsity, but last week's crash course in heat adaptation paid off, as every single one of the seven gained positions in the second half of the race. That helped the team gain points on the other top teams - 34pts on Davidson, 6 on DCA, and 20 on Columbia. Had the race gone a little longer, the boys might well have won! Besides our All-Region runners, Clay Payne and Caleb Little both ran in the top 20, and Dylan Omary and Caspar Schmidt were inside the top 25. It was an impressive display of team depth. The boys continued a remarkable streak of 18 straight years of finishing either first or second at Region.
The JV runners ran in the hottest part of the then-unseasonably warm day, and the JV boys took charge at the front of the race! The runners put forth great efforts - in hot conditions their efforts were impressive (shout-out to Daniel Guo and Miles Lewis, who ran their first and last 5km of the season today!).
