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

May 26, 2017May 25, 2017Sr. 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

May 25, 2017May 25, 2017Sr. 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#

Through the chute in order included: Efstathios Davis (St. Pius X), Jack Bennett, Anders Beil and Ryan Schumacher all from St. Thomas More, Jeffery Rogers from St. Anthony, Gavin Summers from Our Lady of the Lake and Aidan Alexander from St. Thomas More. sistersblog# cyocamphoward# cyotrack&field#

CYO Cadet Girls 3000 Meters Agony & Ecstacy

May 21, 2017Sr. Krista von Borstel Leave a comment

Eva McIlraith from St. Pius X claimed the 2017 Cadet girls championship for the 3000 Meter Run yesterday with a time of 11:05.15 dropping nearly 20 seconds off her seed time of 11:24.33, clearly a fantastic personal best in competition this year.

Olivia Silenzi from Valley Catholic was seeded first with a time of 11:17.57 from her pre-season competition. With 200 yards left in the race, Silenzi fell out of first place, buckled up and began getting violently sick. With inner fortitude, she powered on, obviously not well, and crossed the finish line in sixth place. A remarkable finish for sure.

Other finishers in order included: (2nd) Olivia Seits & (3) Corinna Hatfield both from St. Anthony, (4) Alexandria Nagy from St. PIus X, (5) Fiona Lenth from St. John Fisher, (7) Kaitlin Gripekoven from St. Thomas More and (8) Georgia Hicken from Valley Catholic.

CYO Roadrunners “The Jumpers”

CYO Roadrunner Girls show their style and form as they learn to long jump in the program. The girls made a spectacular showing in spite of the rain and wind and I suspect they had a lot of fun too!
