Deb Tyson has asked me to be one of the guinea pigs in developing a new website for the AHS athletic department. Here is the summary of Saturday's races that I wrote for that site:
The "Race of Champions" boys divisional race at the Great American Cross Country Festival in Cary, NC, was everything it was hyped up to be. Featuring eighteen teams, fourteen of which have national or regional rankings, the race was run on the one of the fastest courses in the Southeast. The cooler temperatures and quick conditions produced a sub-15:00 course record by a young man from Florida.
The Albemarle boys team placed seventh overall, and was the top Virginia team. Midlothian, last year's AAA State Champions, finished ninth. AHS was lead by Adam Visokay (15:16), who placed fifth overall. The 5K time Adam put up leads the Commonwealth at the midway point of the season. Contributing to the team scoring behind Adam were Ryan Thomas (15:54), Ben Deal (15:55), Aaron Elder (16:49), and Joe Krohn (16:53). Chris Springer (16:54) and Keith Montminy (17:28) rounded out the stellar team performance.
AHS was not finished however. Coach Male entered five runners in the most competitive JV race, and, like their teammates, these athletes were the top Virginia team and placed fourth. Led by the sixth place finish of Will Hunt (17:14), the boys were just one point out of third. In addition to Will, scoring were David Kwiatkowski (17:37), Rowen Perry (17:44), Zach Coffman (17:45), and Guillaume Bailey (18:11).
