Lindbergh Cross Country

The Lindbergh Boys varsity took 1st place today at the Sundodger Invitational, defeating Redmond (ranked 5th in the 4A) and Seattle Prep (ranked 6th in the 3A).  We did this without James Cornell running in the race.  The JV boys finished 2nd to Eastlake High School. 

Trevor Thompson won the individual race, beating the defending 4A state champion by 15 seconds.  In the process he set a new Lindbergh Cross Country school record with a time of 15:22 (4:56 mile pace).

On the girls side, Lindbergh finished 6th out of 8 teams.  This was without Sarah Reiter in the race, and with our 4, 5, and 6 runners being directed to take a wrong turn and running an extra 1 kilometer.  Because of this we don't have accurate times for Brenna, Liz, or Mercedes.  Jasmine Fallgreen was our top girl today.  She finished 11th overall in a very tough girls field.  Her time of 19:39 (6:19 mile pace) moves her into the 5th spot on the Lindbergh All-time list.

There was also a problem on the course in the boys varsity race.  The runners in front of Nate Tandecki, who was in 7th place, accidentally took a wrong turn.  The entire field followed, so there was no change in the overall places. This added an unknown amount onto the course (perhaps as much as :30).  Thus the times aren't accurate for all of the varsity except Trevor.

I'm not sure where the complete results will be posted.  When I find out, I will add the link.
