Despite moving the races earlier in the day, the heat and humidity were still factors for a 5k race. However, the girls varsity cross country team continued to show their strength by beating a tough DI Jenison team as well as the #4 ranked DII Holland Christian. Junior Ellie Scholma led the way with her 5th place finish. She was followed by Lilah Poel, Zoe Hoekstra, Annika TerBeek, and Lucy Waalkes - all in the top 25.
The JV team showed their determination by placing 8 in the top 11! This included Gwyn Artz, Maggie Scholma, Sonia Tatko, Cora Boostra, Mia Roe, Lily Tatko, Hannah Van Allen, and Mia Powell. PRs (Personal Records) were hard to come by due to the heat and humidity but Cora, Makayla Wynbeek, Natalia Oren, Ana Kuprina, and Celia Kort all ran the best time of their careers.
The Eagles kick off their conference season with the OK White Jamboree #1 on Wednesday at Riverside Park.
