UNLIKELY HEROES
Do you ever think it’s only the runners at the front of the race that matter? Do you ever think just because you’re #6 or #7 on the team that you’re not that important. Check this out. At last Saturday’s Subsection Meet in Frogtown, Colleen Slamkowski was racing mid-pack, almost four minutes behind the leaders. But she kept going and trying her hardest. Five Troubadours had already finished for the JV’s (scoring 35 points for St. Francis) but Colleen knew her job was not done. Oakmont’s #5 runner had still not finished and Colleen bravely dusted her by 17 seconds, displacing her by one spot, and adding one point to Oakmont’s total. Oakmont finished with 36 points, one slim point behind St. Francis, and St. Francis were the JV Subsection Champions. Thanks to Colleen for her 25th place effort - as well as hard running by all of the Junior Varsity. Even if Oakmont had tied St. Francis 35-35, the Troubies would have won thanks to Colleen besting Oakmont’s #6 runner. Kristie and Kari were also ahead of Oakmont’s #6 runner. This is a TEAM SPORT so thanks to Colleen and EVERYBODY throughout the pack in all races for wearing the red and yellow with pride and determination. That’s the kind of running we need this week. Go Troubies!
