9/25 - ON Twilight at PR'ville

Lindsey Bachman
Oh, what a night! The meet in Huntsville bills itself as “PR-ville” and the moniker was accurate, as the Tigers crushed it. PRs abounded - the right combination of weather, competition, course, and training all came together for a very special night. 
 
Though they were the last to race, the varsity boys had an historic night. The top two runners - Griffin Davidson and Caleb Freifeld both broke Timmy Hays’s 7-yr old school record, going 15:51 and 15:53. Drew Zwerner was right behind, and Jack Fruin and Ike Tift competed the team scoring with a monstrous team average of 16:19, 25 seconds per runner faster than the previous school record.  In the Championship field with 39 teams from 10 states, the boys finished 7th. It should also be noted that our 6-10 runners all PR’ed, an incredible achievement. 
 
Perhaps some of those 6-10 runners were spurred on by the success of the JV, who had run earlier. Led by Oren Schwartz’s huge PR, 7 of the 10 boys PR’ed. 
 
The varsity girls also had a slew of PRs, and finished 12th in the Rated race (one tier below the championship level). Madeleine Wiseman led the way in 9th place and a seasonal best, and then PRs from Jackie Seale and Sydney Lasher made for a very solid top 3, followed by Norah Harrison (in the middle of marathon training) and yet another PR from Hreenlee Davidson. All four runners from 6-9 also PR’ed!
 
Led by the fantastic four freshmen of Lena LeClere, Julia Ginsberg, Olive Lueken, and Liliane Molhtari, 5 of the 7 JV girls also PR’ed!
 
It was a special evening - one of the most memorable and special in USNXC history. We have one more trip to Alabama next weekend before our final push to the Region and State championships in late October and early November.
