Cub Boys Long Distance Runners…Who Won the 1500?


Jeffery Rogers, Ryan Schumacher, Luke Horne, Jeffery Osborn and Anders Beil are a few names you will see at the top of the list of the long distance runners for cub boys in CYO.  The question is, who will be at the top of the list each time?

Ryan Schumacher had the best times coming into the Meet of Champions but you know, some days just aren’t your days!  Luke Horne had an amazing end of race victory in the 3000.  Jeffery Rogers, whose best time in the 1500 was only 3 seconds slower than Schumachers, shaved 7 or 8 seconds off his best time to win the event.

Champion: Jeffery Rogers (St. Anthony) 4:54.36

2nd: Ryan Schumacher (St. Thomas More) 4:59.21

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


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!

CYO Cub Boys 3000 a battle between Ryan Schumacher and Luke Horne – Who Won?


The second race of the day at the CYO Meet of Champions was the Cub Boys (Grades 5 & 6) 3000 Meter Run.  The three best seeded times were from Ryan Schumacher (St. Thomas More) 10:14.22, Anders Beil (St. Thomas More) 10:43.51 and Luke Horne (Holy Trinity) 10:51.73.  The three boys made a race of it through out the 7.5 laps.  With approximately 2 laps left, Luke Horne made his challenge and passed up the leader, Ryan Schumacher.  The two remained within close proximity of one another until the final stretch when Horne took it home and clearly won the race with a 7 second margin.  It was a great race to watch and appreciate.  The entire field of runners did a superb job!
