Important Items for the Week

Atheltes of the Meet

• Each of the major meets we like to recognize a few athletes for being AWESOME! That could be running a really fast time, Personal best effort, or other amazing feats!
• For the Carlisle Invite we wanted to recognize the following:
• Jackson Pascarello: He ran 16:51.3, a 32s personal best time.  His time ranks him as the 9^th fastest time in Reservoir History!
• Griffin Ellinghaus: He ran 16:57.2, a 40s personal best time.  His time ranks him as the 12^th fastest time in Reservoir History!
• Madison Kuck: Despite some knee discomfort she had an amazing race! She ran a personal best by 1:18, for a new personal best of 23:21!  Madison ran almost even splits throughout her race.  Her first mile was 7:31 and her overall average was 7:32. What a great race!
• Jonah Coler: He was on a mission! Jonah was focused and ready for the race!  He ran a personal best time of 23:54 which is an improvement by 1:24!  Another fun tidbit about Jonah’s race is that his first mile was 7:50.  His overall average was 7:42.  He was faster in the back of the race!  BIG SECOND HALF!
• Ela Muniz: She was aggressive from the start. Positioning herself in the front of the race from the start!  She earned a 13^th place finish and a near personal best time!  Her time of 20:13 is her third fastest time 5k time in her career.  Only 15s off of her personal best!  Great job!
• Jeremiah Kargbo: He ran fast! Jeremiah improved his personal best time to 21:19.  This is more than a 2 minute improvement.
• Avery Kuck:  She broke her first big barrier… she went from a thirty minute 5k runner to now a runner in the 20s.  28:49.  What an awesome barrier to break in just her third real race!  She improved by more than 3:00!  She is getting stronger, faster and more confident!
