MSU Spartan Invitational

Sunny, light breeze, 70

We took 3 girls and 5 boys to run in the Spartan Invite today.  This is a special meet for us as we use it as a meet the athletes earn the right to go to for getting in a certain amount of summer miles.  I doesn’t matter how fast they are, if they get their miles they go, if not they don’t.

The girls led things off running in the Bronze race.  Linnea Paige (So) continues to improve placing 7^th with another season record. She committed to the lead pack early and moved up 6 or 7 places in the middle mile to 6^th.  She held 6^th for most of the 3^rd mile before sliding back to 7^th.  Rachel Maddox (Jr) placed 152^nd with a solid race and Rocquel Richards (So) was 205^th. 

In the boys elite race Sean Pettis (Sr) had a breakout performance, placing 11^th in 15:46.7, the 2^nd fastest performance by a Fremont athlete ever at this meet, and the fastest since this version of the course started in 2010.  He ran a smart race grabbing onto the tail end of a big lead pack and slowly picking through over the middle part of the race.  Carter Sherman 50^th (Jr), Issac Romero 80^th (So), Cole Lowery 123^rd (Jr), and Blake Taylor 131^st (Jr) all turned in season record performances as they continue to improve and show they are ahead of where they were last year.
