2023 D2 Regionals - At Chip Hills

Steady mist, Breezy, mild temp., soft footing

The girls placed 8^th with 195 pts, 1 point out of 7^th.  They were ranked 9^th in the region coming in.  The course ran much slower than last week due to the wind and some pretty muddy footing in some areas.  I am really happy with the way the girls ran the race.  They got out well and put themselves in positions to compete.  Linnea Paige (So) led the way with a 6^th place finish moving up well throughout the race.  Joelle Patten (So) had an outstanding race placing 25^th with one of the few PR’s in the race.  Rocquel Richards (So) piggybacked off of last weeks breakthrough performance to run the second best time of her career placing 48^th.  Running in her last race Senior Elise  Pfeiffer placed 59^th running a solid race.  Kira Manchip (Fr) ran her best race of the season to place 59^th, while Rachel Maddox (Jr) had a strong last 400 to place 72^nd.  Freshman Jessie Kendziorski ran her best race of the season to place 85^th.

The boys placed 4^th with 112 points, missing the 3^rd state qualifying spot by 19 points.  About 10 points closer than they were predicted.  While disappointed at missing team qualification the boys turned in a good performance on the day.  Sean Pettis (Sr) became another of Fremont’s Regional Champions by winning the race.  Carter Sherman (Jr) ran a strong race to place 10^th, while Issac Romero (So) went out strong, faded a little then finished strong to place 22^nd.  Cole Lowery (Jr) ran a great last 400 to place 33^rd, with Blake Taylor (Jr) returning from a stress fracture to race on almost no run training to place 46^th.  Chase Lowery (So) and Evan Christoffersen (Fr) had good finishes to place 52^nd and 60^th.
