The headline says it all!  Molly and Paige Grant finished first and second to win the Cub girls 800 meter Run at the CYO Meet of Champions May 20 & 21 at Jesuit High School.  Less than a second separated both their seed times and their winning times.  The Grant girls finish their CYO career with the conclusion of the Meet of Champions and leave behind some great memories for those who watched them through the years.

St. Thomas More’s Malcolm Grant Captures CYO Cub Boys 800 Meter Run

Sr. Krista von Borstel Leave a comment

The CYO photo finish was called into play to determine the winner of the race which was differentiated by 62 hundredths of a second!  Malcolm Grant finished at 2:22.24 and Valley Catholic’s Mario Oblad in 2:22.86!  A great race that makes CYO Track and Field one of the great sports for spectators on a dry sunny Saturday afternoon in May!  Great job, boys!

Sr. Krista von Borstel Leave a comment

Luke Horne and Andrew Zabudsky from St. Pius X needed the review of the photo finish to determine the winner of the 800 meter race with 20 hundredths of a second separating their finish in the race!  Horne has had some good successes with the distance races over the years. sistersblog# cyocamphoward#

CYO Roadrunner London Wishman Racked Up 10 Points for St. Matthew in the 400

Sr. Krista von Borstel Leave a comment

A straight forward race with a tough field of competitors resulting in a two second advantage for Wisher and gold for St. Matthew!  The 400 is a challenging race that used to be called a “run” now called a “dash” because the participants go hard and fast all the way around!

CYO 1500 Meter Paige Grant Wins Big

Sr. Krista von Borstel Leave a comment

Paige and Molly Grant are true identical twins.  I have watched the girls grow up in CYO sports.  I was a teacher at St. Mary of the Valley (now Valley Catholic) when their mother was a student there.  I know the family well and they are great people.   The girls have been fun to watch through the years as they have been scrappers in basketball and competitors in track and field.  They both have the heart of a winner.  It touched my heart as Paige stepped up on the winners platform for the first time and collected her championship medal.  Good job, Paige!

CYO Cub Boys 1500 Vlad Stancescu from Our Lady of the Lake

Sr. Krista von Borstel Leave a comment

Twins from Our Lady of the Lake, Vlad and Andrei Stancescu were a treat to watch as they came in one and two in both the 3000 (Saturday) and the 1500 (Sunday afternoon).  The boys clearly love one another and my suspicion is that they push one another in practice.  Andrei shaved 3 seconds off his best time while Vlad improved by under 1 second. sistersblog# cyocamphoward#

Aiden Donis had a scorching personal performance at the CYO Meet of Champions burning 23 seconds off his best time this year of 5:44.64.  The overcast weather with mild temperatures throughout the day was a perfect day for runners.  Congratulations to all of the Roadrunner Boys for their very good efforts.

CYO 1500 Roadrunner Girls Champion Juliana Peters from St. Anthony

Sr. Krista von Borstel Leave a comment

Juliana Peters absolutely exploded into CYO sports last year as a third grader.  She set a new record in the first championship race she ran (800) in the Roadrunner Regional at Valley Catholic.  We were sort of excited to see what she would do as a fourth grader and she did it again!  Juliana has had two fantastic years in CYO Track & Field.  She will be fun to watch.  Note her time against the Cub boys.  She would have placed second and might have lost the race by 3 seconds. sistersblog# cyocamphoward#
