On a foggy morning, the Eagles refused to lose sight of the finish line. Despite coming off a race just 2.5 days prior, the Eagles pulled together and took 2nd place at the Cougar Falcon Invitational at Gainey. Ellie Scholma and Lilah Poel led the Eagles. They were followed by Annika TerBeek, Zoe Hoekstra, Lydia Visker, Joy VanWyk, and Eva Lindstrom.
By the time the JV and Freshman races began, the sun was making Gainey feel almost tropical - and not in a good way! However, the races had to go on and the Eagles didn't back down. Willa Peterson led the JV race. She was followed by Lily Tatko, Hannah VanAllen, Robyn Klein, and Maria Martinez. In the Freshman race, the trio of Maggie Scholma, Sonia Tatko, and Cora Boonstra led the way. Alena Sportel and Natalia Oren rounded out the top 5.
The tropical conditions made PRs (personal records) hard to come by but Celia Kort managed to clock her fastest 5k time yet.
The Eagles return to action Saturday as they travel to Otsego for the Bulldog Invitational.
