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.

Sr. Krista von Borstel Leave a comment

John Schuler posted a season best competition time of 10:08.84.  When it came time for the championships, however, he was able to shave more than 30 seconds off his time to beat second place by 5 seconds.  Four competitors were seeded ahead of John making the championship a strategic challenge.

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

Sr. 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.

The 3000-meter run is a Track running event, also commonly known as the 3K or 3K run, where 7.5 laps are completed around an outdoor 400 m track or 15 laps around a 200 m indoor track.

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!

CYO Roadrunner (3rd & 4th) Track & Field Regional Meets

MAY 16, 2017 CYO TRACK & FIELD Featuring the photography of Clayton Smith

The third and fourth grade Roadrunner Championships are one of my favorite events each year because it is so much fun to watch the little ones learn how to jump, throw, put and run in an organized fashion.  On Saturday, May 13, two Regional meets were held to determine the top times and distance in all of the CYO track and field events for roadrunners.  These top finishers will compete in their finals at the Meet of Champions on May 20 and 21 along with grades 5 through 8 at Jesuit High School.

The Eastside schools competed at La Salle Catholic College Preparatory School in Milwaukie.  We will begin with their Opening Parade.All SaintsCathedralChrist the KingFMESHoly FamilyOur Lady of LourdesOur Lady of the LakePacific Crest AcademySt. John the ApostleSt. Joseph VancouverWest Hills Christian

CYO Roadrunner Championships Today

Sr. Krista von Borstel Leave a comment

CYO Track and Field Championships for third and fourth graders will take place today in two regional meets.  One will be at La Salle Catholic College Preparatory in Milwaukie and the other at Valley Catholic School in Beaverton.  The top eight times, distances, jumps, throws and puts will be determined at the conclusion of each meet and those individuals will be invited to the Meet of Champions the following weekend to participate for the championship.

The Roadrunner Championships, for me, are exciting because we see individuals start to emerge as future potential notables in their events.  There were two outstanding record setting performances in 2016 at the Roadrunner event.  Nina Stecher from Valley Catholic set a new record in the 400 Meter with a time of 1:09.46.  Juliana Peters from St. Anthony set a new CYO record in the 800 with a time of 2:39.81.

See you at the meets!
