What a great day to run and what a great performance by the
Central ladies at the Luther All-American Invitational in Decorah, IA! There
was some great competition here and La Crosse Central held their own. Junior Varsity placed 5th with
great performances by some up and coming freshmen as well as veterans. The Varsity placed 1st. Of the six returning varsity runners,
essentially all of them improved from last year (see individual improvements
below)!! Jane Pinkowski got her first varsity experience and ran awesome as well!!
Individual
improvements. Last year the girls ran a 4k and this year a 5k. So if someone ran the same pace this year as
last, this is a significant improvement in itself, being able to hold a pace
for an extra kilometer.
Mattie K and Violet N ran a pace 2 seconds slower per mile
than last year, but due to the km increase, this is most definitely an improvement.
Sara B ran 3 seconds per mile faster this year. 11.4 faster for Sophie L, 13.1 – Ally K, 16.8
– Lilly N, 50.2 – Alex B, and 1:45.2 - Nicole K!!
Race by the numbers:
47 – degrees when the runners arrived to CHS. Many dressed
for the weather and then some.
6 – Number of phone calls Coach Pischke had to make to get
into the building race morning. The badge scanner just wasn't working for him this morning. Thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Anglehardt for saving the day and bring a badge that did work.
3 – Number of runners who this was their first XC race! Great job!
