Cross Country Teams Sweep 2nd GLAC Jamboree

The Stockbridge boys’ and girls’ cross country teams moved one step closet to league titles after both won the second GLAC jamboree of the season at Stockbridge last week.

The girls squeaked out a 46-47 win over Leslie to take control of the conference with one race remaining.

In normal scoring situations it looked like Leslie had beat out Stockbridge by one point (44-45) because Maple Valley did not field a full team and usually those runners do not count in the team scoring. The GLAC has a rule that teams short of five runners have ghost scores put in for the missing runners so the school will have a team score. Stockbridge had only one runner finish behind the first Maple Valley runner, while Leslie had three to move the Panthers ahead of the Blackhawks in the final standings.

Rylee Tolson continued to roll through the competition by easily winning the race with a time of 18:44.4.

Brooklyn Rochow continued to impress with a fourth place finish in 20:20.2, while Kaitelyn Walker was 7^th in 21:52 and freshman Anna Ransom 8^th in 22:04.

Sidney Gipe was 26^th in 24:33.1, Eliana Johnson 28^th in 25:24, Andrea Borowy 32^nd in 25:56.5, Kalysta Connolly 36^th in 29:29.2, and Alora Mullins 37^th in 29:41.8.

The boys cruised to an easy win by finishing with 24 points to outdistance Olivet with 43.

Micah Bolton (17:07.1) and Dalton Satkowiak (17:08) finished nearly neck and neck for the top two spots in the race.

Collin Cook came home fourth in 17:38.5, Ethan Wright 8^th in 18:05.7 and Brendan Wright 9^th in 18:35.2.

DJ Chapman was 14^th in 19:41.4, Brandon Howlett 20^th in 20:43.9, and Brady Cole 38^th in 26:24.4.

The teams competed at the Hudson Invitational Saturday, and both came home with third place finishes.

The girls finished with 115 points in the race won by Waseon, Ohio with 77.
