Running Club Results

In the RTPD Obstacle Course Run we had some really strong results:

  • Boys 7-8. We had one race entry from our club. He took 1st. Worth noting also that St. Emily finished 1 & 2 in the Girls 7-8 race (not club participants, still awesome!!!).
  • Girls 9-11. We had three runners enter, out of twenty-five, and had a 6th place finish, four of five finishers ahead of her were 11 (she is 9).


In our Friendly XC Meet with St. Francis, we beat St. Francis by team scoring in the boys mile and half mile, and had a competitive showing by our girls in the mile and half mile. Of twelve podium spots awarded for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in the boys/girls mile/1/2 mile, St. Emily beat St. Francis 7 to 5. This was a fun meet for the kids and was very competitive.
