Month: October 2017

Once again, the Fighting Irish Men’s and Women’s team battle the elements and come out on top! It was a very cold, wet and windy day to say the least at the Regional Finals. Yet, despite the conditions, the Irish move on to another quest at a state title!

Both the guys and girls teams will be making the journey to Hebron this upcoming Saturday. For the ladies, it will be their 10 straight trip. For the guys, it is their 8 trip in 10 years and 15 trip in 18 years.

Congratulations to both Men’s and Women’s team for their dominating performance at the Malone District on Saturday. The Fighting Irish ran with a sense of purpose and it showed as they both were able to stake their claim (flag) as the District champions. This is the 11th straight title for the Ladies team and the 6th title in 11 years for the guys.

Now the highest mountain is before us – Regionals this coming Saturday at Boardman. The Ladies attempt to conquer this mountain at 11:45 and the Guys go off at 2:15 pm.

Both the Men’s and Women’s teams showed very well in the last regular season race of the season. The guys ended up on top winning the title against 54 teams. The ladies ended up in 2nd place. The course was extended by about 30 meters to make up for the amount of runners. That is why the times were a touch slower. However, the fight and determination showed by the Irish was a perfect preview of what should be expected as the road to Columbus starts with Districts at Glenoak on the 21st of October.

On a day made for a runner, the Fighting Irish stepped up big time among some of the best competition not only in the state but also in the country. When the day was over, 2 guys ran times that are ranked as the best in the country! Our Irish did not disappoint either as 90% of the Irish posted their fastest times of the year.

The two photos above depict our Freshmen/Sophomores who scored a 7th place and 4th place respectfully. Outstanding job for our younger runners. The Race of Champions had the guys finish in 8th place and the ladies finish in 10th place out of 37 teams entered. There was only three total teams including the Irish that were designated as division II teams.

Now the journey goes to one last regular season race. Envision the Highest Peak!
