Ladies Sectionals

Congratulations to the Lady Running Rebels. Once again we had an awesome Sectionals and going onto State. We beat Peshtigo and Sevastopol in a tight race. It took all of our girls to beat Peshtigo. Watching Megan and Marissa Popp battling with the Lourdes in the front was exciting. They beat the top two from Peshtigo. Then Miranda was next behind the second runner from Peshtigo. Marissa and Alanna beat their runners to seal the deal. It was that close I never heard so much yelling in a race. Everyone beat the girl they had to beat and did not allow anyone to pass them so we didn't get surprised like we did at Smiley. In the end we had more speed. Amanda and Whitney both came in front of Peshtigo's last two runners and were right behind Peshtigo's five runner. For some people, well ok they were the 6th and 7th runners and don't matter in the count, BUT in the guys race Gillett beat Lourdes(who by the way was expecting to sweep Sectionals) with a tie breaker of the 6th man. Gillet boys team ran as a team to win Sectionals. Ladies you have been running as a great team all season, but you ran more as a team at Sectionals, and it was a great thing to see. It shows the great chemistry and how much hard work we have done this season. Just about everyone has shaved at least a half a minute and some took almost a minute off their times from last year.
