Well, the boys got it done yesterday! The solid win over Thomas means that Schroeder has their first XC division title since the Webster schools split. I'm not sure when the unified school last won a division title, but it has been a while. Great work guys. The overall record of 20-3 meant that we finished second overall in Monroe County, behind Sutherland (22-1). The 20 wins set a new school record, since prior to the Schroeder/Thomas split, it was not possible to record 20 victories in a season.
My favorite statistic for the boys is their record against state-ranked teams, head-to-head in our League meets. It is an incredible 7-3, with one loss coming by one point to Mendon, thanks to a fence and flag placement. For an unranked team to put up that sort of record against ranked teams, it must show some impressive determination.
And how about those girls! Since the schools split, the Schroeder girls had not been able to post 10 wins in one season. The final record of 16-7 this year surpassed all expectations, and even included wins over state-ranked teams from Sutherland and Victor. The 1-2-3 finish against Thomas yesterday guaranteed the second win against our friends from across town, the other being an exciting 28-28 win in 2006. Since the results have been tracked on the internet, our average loss against Hilton has been 16-46 in the 7 previous years. Yesterday, it was 27-30 and the meet was even closer than the score indicates.
Now it is time to focus on the Championship races!
