It was a beautiful fall day in Manchester for the Cross Country Sectional 6 meet. 15 area schools came together to run their hearts out for a chance to qualify for Regionals next weekend in Huntington. It was only the top 7 Varsity girls from Triton that took the field today as a team, the boys were unable to field anyone. The top 3 girls for Triton ran as good or better times then they did on the same course earlier in the season. The other 4 struggled a bit today but still pulled off great finishes. Unfortunately the girls team did not qualify, placing 8th out of the 9 teams there today. Only the top 5 teams advance. BUT once those top 5 teams are pulled from the field, the next 15 runners qualify as individuals to run at Regionals. Triton didn't have one, didn't have two, but had FOUR of it's 7 girls qualify for Regionals as individuals.
A huge CONGRATULATIONS to Freshman McKenna Emenaker, Freshman Evelyn Gephart, Senior Rilee Bemish, and Freshman Izzy Rettinger for making it through in the field of 15 qualifiers. Kensie Schuh was close behind and only missed the 15 individual qualifiers by only 2 spots. I should point out that McKenna also missed the top 20 runners overall by only 2 spots today also. We are so proud of our varsity girls. You ALL have had an amazing season. We can't wait to see how you all do next weekend at Regionals. Plan to come out and cheer on the girls Saturday October 25th, at 11:15am at Huntington University for the New Haven Regional 2.
