Chloe Foerster Edges out CYO 3000 Meter Champ Kelly Park in the 1500

Sr. Krista von Borstel 1 Comment

Kelly Park from Holy Trinity came into 1500 Meter with the best seeded time 5:09.01.  Chloe Foerster from St. Pius X had a seed time of 5:33.46.  At the end of the race, Chloe had a final time of 5:04.41, nearly a 30 second improvement in her time and the 2015 championship.  Kelly Park finished second in the CYO Meet of Champions with a time of 5:12.77.  I suspect Kelly’s effort the day before in the 3000 had an impact on her 1500 performance.

I attended the Oregon Middle School Meet of Champions in Corvallis hosted by Linus Pauling Middle School and had the opportunity to watch Chloe where she finished fourth in the 3000 and sixth in the 800 agains the very best middle school competition in the state.  I might also add that the St. Pius girls won the meet!

Excellent job to the entire field!

Ethan Reese (St. Pius X) edged out William Sheaffer (West Hills Christian) by less than a second when he posted a 4:33.72 final against Sheaffer’s 4:34.66 close second in the CYO Cadet Boys 1500 Meter Run Sunday May 17th, 2015 at the CYO Meet of Champions at Jesuit High School.

The race had people on their feet as the boys fought it out all the way to the end of a great race.  Steven Rowland (St. Anthony) was a close third with a time of 4:35.17.

St. Anthony 1 , 2, 3, St. Thomas More 4, St. Anthony 5, St. Thomas More 6, 7, and St. Andrew Nativity sneaked in for a point thanks to Ariel Gomez in a race dominated by St. Anthony and St. Thomas More.  A great race from beginning to end where the top three seeds were within a second or two of one another!  Well done everyone!

Blake Deringer puts Pacific Crest Academy on the Map!

Sr. Krista von Borstel 2 Comments

Not sure where he came from but he made an impact at the CYO Meet of Champions with his red hair and genuine great kid smile as he sailed to victory in the 400, 200 and 100 meter dashes!  A powerful runner with great speed and a lot of great qualities that will make him a much sought after high school athlete for sure.  Seton are you listening?

For those of you who are wondering where Pacific Crest Academy is, it is in the Camas area in Clark County Washington.  Pacific Crest has participated for several years in the CYO program.  Blake’s performance Saturday and Sunday turned some heads for sure including mine!

First: Blake Deringer, Second: Andrew Benson (St. Ignatius), Third: Aidan Gratton (Cathedral), Fourth: Alex Guitteau (Holy Family), Fifth: Grant Miller (West Hills Christian), Sixth Blake Schneck (St. Pius X), Seventh: Davis Raz (West Hills Christian).
