Back to Wickham & Back In Business.
For the second time in three years, Mercy Cross Country are the Wickham Park Invitational Medium School Champions!
On Saturday, the Tigers scored 62 points to win the medium school race by 73 points over Woodstock Academy.
Cora Wasiolek ’28 led the way for Mercy with a runner-up finish, and was followed by Allie Pelletier ’27 (14th), Ruby Kuselias ’28 (16th), McKenna Ouellette (18th), Madalena D’Andrea (26th) and Adelina Tycz ’28 (29th).
Earlier in the day, Addison Akier ’30 kicked off the invitational with a big victory in the freshman race, beating Cheshire’s Evelyn Hu-Voong by over a minute. Her debut time of 20:36.6 was the fifth-best time ever for a Mercy ninth grader over the state championship course. Akier led the way for Mercy’s Class of 2030, who was running at the legendary course for the first time as high schoolers.
After this weekend’s strong performance and a third-place finish at the Maine Festival of Champions on Oct. 3, Mercy will turn its attention to the SCC Championship next week.
The Tigers will be looking to win the league championship for the third straight season on Wednesday, Oct. 21. Mercy has never won three straight league titles, and only Guilford has achieved the feat in the history of the league.
Let’s go, Tigers!
