On Saturday, April 24th, the Titans competed in their first outdoor track meet in nearly 2 whole years. Racing against the Glenbrook North Spartans, the Titans ran phenomenally. Though the meet was unscored, it was clear that the Titans came out on top. To watch the recorded meet, please see HERE.
GBS and GBN challenged all athletes and spectators to bring non-perishable food and home goods to donate to the Northfield Township Food Pantry. In all, we collected over a hundred pounds of food and home supplies. Thank you to the Glenbrook community for all of the help!
The meet kicked off with a single heat of the 3200m run. 7 Titans represented Titan Distance, racing hard for all 8 laps. Nick Ihrke (SR) of Glenbrook North took the crown, finishing first in a time of 9:58. Behind him were Cody Slutzky (SR) and Jayson Stamm (JR), who finished in times of 10:20 and 10:23 respectively. Freshman Andy Ordway finished in 5th place with a time of 10:55, a great way to start his track and field career as a Titan.
The next distance event was the 800m run, where Brian Hiltebrand (JR) dominated the field with a time of 2:00.5 (hand-timed). The Titans showed off their depth in this event, with Harrison Wollney (SR), Matthew Klonecki (JR), and Matthew Penne (JR), finishing in 3rd, 4th, and 5th. Klonecki came through with a massive PR of over 20 seconds.
Five Titan Distance runners competed in the 400m, with Carter Adams (SR) notching a 6th place finish in a time of 58.9 (hand-timed).
The real highlight of the afternoon was the 1600m run, where the Titans took 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 6th. Michael Jerva (JR) and Michael Westfall (JR) battled it out for much of the race, but Jerva prevailed in a time of 4:48 to Westfall’s 4:49, both massive PRs. Behind them, Elie Nassif (JR) finished in a time of 4:54. Coming in 6th was Sophomore James Hiltebrand, who joined the Sub-5 Club with a time of 4:57. Not to be forgotten, though, was Lucas Houser (JR), who ran his first race in over a year after tearing his meniscus last summer.
Overall, it was a great day to be a Titan, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with how the team competed in their first competition. Congratulations to everyone on a solid first meet, let’s keep it going!
