Our runners built off last week's impressive performances at CHL for the most successful day at the District Championships in school history. The boys and girls swept both the individual and team titles at Voice of America Park in West Chester.
In the girls race, our lead pack of Katie Spray, Terra Forsythe, and Whitley Elsass worked together and patiently moved up to spots 2-4 in the second mile. Katie closed a large gap on the leader and then pulled away in the final 400 for the victory. Her time of 19:52 moves up to 5th in the WHS record book and was her first sub-20 5k. Terra and Whitley also posted season-best times to finish 3rd and 4th. Danielle McKee came in 8th and Lily Parker, with a season best by 30 seconds, 12th as both earned places on the podium. Katherine Irvine ran her best time as well, and was accompanied across the finish line by Emily Wood in a near tie . The girls scored 28 points for a 46 point win over runners-up Indian Hill.
Ben Stites improved his own school record with the only sub-16 5k race in Cowboys history. Ben won his second SW District championship while working with fellow senior Max Hoffman to break away from the field in the first half of the race. Max's 16:11 (the #2 time ever for a Wyoming runner!) earned him 2nd place. Evan Cramer, Tanner Anthony, and Cullen O'Brien all ran season-best times, finishing in places 5,6, and 9. Evan moved into the WHS Top 20 as he improved to 17:02. The boys posted only 23 points in their win.
Official results are available on FinishTiming.
