The 2018 season is underway with the completion of the Warrensburg Time Trial. This season, participating schools included Warrensburg, Clinton, Smith Cotton, and Pleasant Hill.
The course was in solid shape having been rolled to improve footing and mowed short for less resistance. A nice breeze helped ease the higher than normal temperatures for that time of day but there was no stopping the humidity or sun. The Roosters started the day with solid performances led at the front by Landon Fatino and Desmond Ewing. A strong pack of ours boys followed while mixing it up with perennial powerhouse, Warrensburg. Unofficially, our top 5 boys finished 3rd, 4th, 9th, 11th, and 14th. Caden Walker led the freshmen cohort followed by Jackson Hunt and Johnathan Rivera who all accomplished or exceeded their goal at the meet. Arguably the highlight came from the outstanding performances in the girls’ race. Aubrey Scott continued her cross country success with a 3rd place finish. Junior Megan Swinney added another massive PR to her list by running 1 minute and 5 seconds faster than her time at this meet last year. Bethany Larkins one-upped Megan by eclipsing last years’ time by 1 minute and 19 seconds. Newcomer, Tanner Reffitt, ran a personal best through the mile mark and then ran a second mile to complete her first race. This time trial indicated that our team is starting to develop a strong base of endurance. With that, we will be able to add some specific pace training and workouts to sharpen in time for October and November. We will have to focus on optimizing our recovery and staying healthy as the season progresses. Results: Note – Official places or team scores were not recorded at this event.
