For the Varsity Girls, today marked their 90th and 91st consecutive NBL wins. Last time the Puma girls lost in NBL competition was 2002! Their cumulative team time today of 95:38 was the 15th fastest ever team in the 22 year history of the Spring Lake Course, and the 7th fastest Puma girls team. Also, in case you missed it, Lauren Kraus ran 18:57 - the 10th fastest time ever for a freshman girl - (not too shabby). Only Jenny Aldridge and Amy Robinson ever ran faster for the Pumas as freshman.
As impressive as the Girls did, the Boys did even better. Their team time of 80:51 was the 12th fastest ever team and the 3rd best Carrillo team time in the history of the Spring Lake Course. Gus Greenstein became the 30th fastest all-time and the Pumas 5th fastest boy ever with his 15:41. The Varsity Boys are now 88-3 vs NBL competition over the past 7 seasons.
At this point, I know what you are thinking. "That's all very interesting, but what about socks?" I was getting to that. Today we had 29 runners earn socks by running PRs. Great job everyone! Following is the list of PRs - led by Desiree Purugannan's 5:06 improvement (say what?) since her previous Spring Lake run earlier this season! While Desiree's improvement was impressive, the coaches noticed all of our less experienced runners were now fully engaged in real cross country racing instead of "just finishing." Congratulations to all of you - you have graduated to the "next level" of your competitive careers.
