Coach O'Malley started the day by supervising a workout for Sean Torpy, Max Lehnhardt, Chris Torpy, Martin Skucas and Dylan Jacobs. The boys nailed the workout and showed that they are super fit and ready to attack the course at Katherine Legge Memorial Park next week.
But the first order of business was to qualify for that Sectional Race. Following the practice, the guys were joined by Tommy Brennan (after completing his own individual session) and the rest of their teammates to cheer on the Regional squad.
We made the decision to run only six runners at Midlothian Meadows, confident that the group of seniors Patrick Foster, David Gleisner, Dan Laskero, Brandon Lukas and Paul Sieczkowski and junior Alex Szymanski would get the job done for us. All season long we've challenged our team and put pressure on them and, every time, they've been up to the challenge. They love the pressure and use that to elevate their performance.
At 2.5 miles, Brandon Lukas still controlled the lead, but Caleb Washington of Shepard had moved past David Gleisner. Paulie S. had now worked his way up to 7th and the others held pretty steady. The only thing left was to finish strong.
Complete results are here.
