WEEK 8/9 Runner of the Week

With all the leagues, teams, and runners in action this week there were some remarkable performances and consequently I had a difficult time choosing. I was planning on 2 boys and 2 girls, but I ended up with 5 very worthy selections.

SPENCER JEPPSON (Gregori)--placed 3rd at the CCAL Championship meet in 16:29 (a 42 sec PR that is the #33 time ever over this course)

MADELINE TREE (Orestimba)--swept through all 3 SAL Clusters. She capped off the season with a huge PR of about 90 seconds over the Legion 5K course
