Starting Strong

Posted on September 7, 2023 by Coach Hasenstein

Boys Cross Country opened their season with a win over Glenbrook North on Tuesday. The Varsity runners combined with the GBS girls for their annual District 225 Cross Country Relay. GBS prevailed 26-29 over the Spartans with Andy Ordway, Spencer Rudolph, Geoff Maddalozzo, Cole Branstrom and Ryan Gershowitz recording the fastest times of the day.

Cyrus Cooke led a huge pack of JV/Open runners through the finish line as GBS took the first 9 places to shut out GBN 15-50.
Saturday, the Titans finished 3rd out of 12 teams at the Crystal Lake South Invite held on the rugged terrain of Veterans Acres Park. Andy Ordway once again led the way with an excellent time of 16:47 for 3.05 miles. Andy's time is the 3rd fastest time ever run on this course by a GBS runner. Rudolph finished 13th while Gershowitz, Maddalozzo and Jefferson Wei all finished in the top 30 to cap off a great day.

Ryan Taylor led the way for the Frosh/Soph team taking 12th place as the Titans finished 2nd overall. Jack Lyons, Owen Wu, Owen Cummings and Jack Kordish all finished in the top 20 to help the team earn the program's 2nd trophy of the day.
The runners will travel to Wauconda this weekend for their next invite.

Good luck, Titan Distance!
