October 1, 2011 ESC Cross Country scores

With apologies to TSN readers, this is a late post that got lost in the shuffle from October 1, 2011

Middle School girls
Jordan Rain 20:51
Vannessa Ross 22:18

High School Girls
Emily Scharn 7th 17:23
Liz Halbur 36th 20:04
Morgan Wollesen 41st 20:44

These three girls all ran their first meet of the year. They all ran well and should improve as they get back into the meet routine.


High School Boys
James Pobanz 24th 19:08
Kelly Nutt 29th 19:29
Colin Haberl 50th 21:05
Ryan Nutt 51st 21:05
Hunter Peiken 57th 23:37
Boys team 9th

James ran extremely well today and is starting to show some of his potential. Kelly continues to work hard and ran his best time of his career. Colin continues to improve weekly so hopefully these guys will peak at the right time. Hunter was able to run his first meet of the year after breaking his ankle over the summer and ran a solid race.

This was a very hot windy day on a tough course so our times are a little slower but overall we performed very well.

All of our middle school runners continue to improve. Andrew continues to run near the top but he is also playing football so his lack of cross country practice limits him somewhat. Ann Continues to run very well for us and Adrian has improved tremendously earning the top team spot for the first time this year.

Our high school girls are getting close to 100% healthy as we get close to conference and district meets. Emily has a little work to do yet but she is running very well for just her second meet of the year. Lydia ran her first meet and ran far above my expectations so I am very optimistic for her in the upcoming meets. Lauren continues to run very solid for us. She has been the one solid thing on our team all year.

Cory continues to run very well. We need a little more to get to the level he will need to extend his season but he is getting there. James continues to improve every week so his future is looking bright. Kelly has been another runner that improves a little every week and is always solid. Prezley and Colin keep improving each week and are doing the right things to help our team. Alex was able to run his first race of the season. He struggled toward the end with some pain from his injury but was able to push through for a finish.

We have been assigned the Unity Christian District on the 20th which will be held in Orange City. This will be a very tough district but we will continue to work toward everyone peaking here and see if we have enough.

CASE ASKS: IS SHE A HEROIC MOM OR A SHREWD KILLER?

Ryan J Foley of the AP has written an amazing story that sums up what happened so far in the Tracey Ann Richter case. Following is an excerpt:

"Tall and thin with curly brown hair and blue eyes, she was 35 at the time. It wasn't long before her image appeared in newspaper coverage of the shooting and even on a national TV talk show, where she was celebrated as a heroic mother who acted in self-defense to protect herself and her young children from men who broke into her home and assaulted her..."
