Sabercats,
We have officially entered the Championship season! But before we look forward to Leagues, Regionals, and State, we need to recap quite a Friday at the Pat Amato Classic.
The day began when our JV/Open boys took to the course. As they have done for much of the season, this group of boys proved too much to handle for the other teams and came away with a dominant 27 point victory. Luke Bartunek started of the scoring in 2nd, followed by Jenner Davis in 3rd, Nathaniel Bartunek in 5th, Jacob Gibbs in 6th and Christian Claypoole in 7th, placing 5 in the top 10! Liam Kissell and Sam Boyd finished an impressive 12th and 25th respectively.
Next on the course was our JV/Open Girls. With an incredibly strong 2nd place team finish Mari Boekes (8th), Ava King (11th), Sophia Burden (13th), Liv Clarke (30th), Sloan Wilson (31st), Ayden Garvin (32nd), and Ellie Lang (39th) made sure everyone at the Northglenn Open Space knew our Girls is incredibly good too!
Boys Varsity were next up on the course. While Thunder Ridge edged the boys by 16 points, the gap was significantly closer than it was at Liberty Bell, showing we are heading into Leagues in a strong position. The 2nd place team finish was led by TJ Frueh in 6th, Parker Graham in 8th, Christian Alley in 14th, Kellen Scott in 22nd, Matthew Higgs in 29th, Blake Royer in 40th, and Holden Ripp in 48th.
The final race of the day saw the Varsity Girls place 5th in a field that featured some of the best teams in the State and region. Brenna Jorde started off the scoring in 5th, followed by Brenna Wendell in 18th, Neev Lev in 23rd, Ciara Baker in 32nd, Reese Plummer in 42nd, and Viv Mann in 76th.
