Race Recap: Willoughby South Invitational Girls Team

On August 27, the Lady Cardinals ran at the Willoughby South Invite. The team place fifth overall with two top 25 finishers (Lizzy Gilreath and Maddie Hull). While disappointed in their team rankings the girls managed to have 12 of 17 set a season PR. A total of four girls were able to PR by more than two minutes while three others came close. Overall the girls did well personally, but lacked the group racing they need. Individually Lizzy Gilreath had an exceptional race, being the first girl to race in the 20s. Other amazing runs were executed by Mackenzie, Anna, Alivia, Loryn, Sarah, Emma Obrzut, Marissa, Jaime and Sam who all PRd by over a minute in a span of 11 days. Avery McGeary who was absent for time trials ran a 22:50 securing a spot on varsity while Kristina Gara had her race temporarily put on hold due to a hamstring injury. Overall, the girls raced hard and showed major improvement from time trials.
