2000 Swartz Creek Cross Country Meet Summary
Meet: Corunna XC
Invitational- 5th
Place, 153 Points
Date: 9/9/00
Weather: Warm,
79, very humid
Swartz Creek headed into the Corunna XC Invitational
with improvement on their minds. With Nick Gatlin back in the
lineup, the team expected a higher finish than Cavalier as well
as better times with improved weather. The weather didn't
cooperate, however. Although the temperature was lower, humidity
made an easy course more challenging.
Creek got out well. Near the mile mark, Nick assumed his place as
our number one runner with Eric close behind. Travis and Ryan
Jory were in position and Jon (with Ryan Green in tow) was
running with a look of extreme determination.
Mile two went by and it was beginning to look like the Dragons were falling back. Eric was off pace and
Ryan Jory, battling allergies and a cold was passed by Ryan Green
and Jon, who both looked strong. Newcomer Tommy Chang was on Mike
Nowak's heals into the third mile and Matt Jacob was pressing
past his goal of one mile determined to finish. Although
Carman-Ainsworth and Davison were both runnign solid races, Creek
still looked respectable.
In the final mile, Nick aggrivated his quad by slipping in the
mud on a turn and was forced to trot in. Eric was the first
finishers for the team, but was not pleased with his time. The
rest of the team improved their times from Cavalier (Justin by
2:00, Green by 1:39, and Jon by 1:16).
Creek finished 5th in the large school division with 153 points,
well behind Carman (2nd, 52) and Davison (3rd, 56). With the Big
9 season beginning next Wednesday at home vs. Powers and Beecher,
Creek will be looking to send a message that the Creek is on the rise!
