Kudos

I never got around to congratulating the Schroeder alumni, for their dominating performance at the Dirt Cheap Trail Run at Webster Park last week. They won a dual meet against the rest of the field, 26-31. It was mostly the Class of 2011 (how they'll be missed!), who were led by AJ (2nd overall) and Geoff (4th), followed by Adrian, John, Joe and Justin, sweeping 8th-11th. Nate ('10) helped out with a 3rd place finish.

Ethan, placing 12th, barely behind Justin officially, in a controversial "chip" vs torso debate, was the only current runner to match the alumni. Justin and Tristan were 36th and 37th, after they jogged behind Coach Lyons for the first half of the race. Steve was 45th, Zach was 57th, and Adam coasted to 82nd.

On the women's side, no current runners participated, but two alumnae were spotted, with Chelsea ('08) placing 17th for women (first for F20-24) and Emily Duke ('07) grabbing 37th.

At least 4 WDR parents participated, with Coach Lyons placing 1st among M45-49, the Mallerys making fine showings, placing 67th and 20th (3rd in her age group) among their respective genders. And Geoff's mom was 28th among women, and 2nd in her age group.
