At the National meet in Massachusetts this weekend, the Lady Cards started the morning off with great races. They were determined to bring home the championship trophy and went for it. After a 40 minute wait, we received the news and the paperwork...we had won the championship by 1 point. You can imagine how the ladies, their families and coach were celebrating. What a race...what an accomplishment! Meanwhile the Men's team had to run their race and we shifted our focus to them. Their race didn't go according to plan and they had to struggle to hang on and get every position they could. We knew we hadn't won and were unsure at this point if we even held on to 2nd place. As we were getting them across the finish line, we started receiving word there had been an error in the Women's scoring and now instead of winning by 1 point we were now in 2nd place by 1 point. The celebration quickly turned sour and there was nothing we could do to change the outcome. Our ladies handled it with grace and poise and made us proud. The Men then found out they had secured the runner-up position as well.

It is sad to say that your first feeling is that of defeat but after you collect your thoughts and emotions, you realize that both teams are the 2nd place teams in D3 nation. WAY TO GO CARDINALS!

We are now setting our sights on the Track and Field season!

To finish on a positive note, we had 4 of our athletes receive ALL-AMERICAN honors. Julia Boyher-7th; Riley Petsch-11th; Brad Ahrens-2nd and Devin St. Clair-14th. Congratulations on this achievement!

It's the final day of our week long trip together and we are under 3 hours from home. We had 7 of our athletes who chose to miss their graduation ceremony to be able to compete at the Nationals; Jordan Bales, Grant Shankle, Jacob Arnold, Ricardo Menjivar, Haley Hernandez, Kyle Vinyard, and Brianna Sansoucie. 🎊 Congratulations to you and best wishes from your team and coaches!
Finally, the entire track team and their coaches would like to thank our driver, Don Owens and name him the MVP of the week! Mr. Don goes above and beyond the duties of a bus driver. He spends time getting to know the athletes, he cheers them on during their events, and goes out of his way to assist the coaches. Thank you Don! You truly are the best at your craft!

On day 6 of our journey, we boarded the bus early because we had a small detour in mind. When you realize a modern day natural wonder is just 22 miles off of the interstate, and you know many of us may not pass this way again, you head to Niagra Falls! A sight to behold and another great memory as a team. Good news: one more night's stay in Ohio tonight and then this bus of weary travelers should land in Park Hills tomorrow night. Bad news: it's Finals week!

Day 5 of this journey, and the final day of competition started with a determined group of student athletes entering the stadium to make things happen. And make things happen they did. It was a day of 11 finals and every final MAC competed in, they made it to the podium except for the Men's 400 hurdle where Hunter came up lame and unable to finish.
Beginning with 1500 Meters: Haley Hernandez and Rachel Wilson finished 5th and 7th both with PR's (personal record); Kyle Vinyard and Jacob Arnold were 3rd and 4th both with PR's. 4x100 Meter Relays: Women's team of Brianna Sansoucie, Reilly Baughman, Stephany Latham & Laine Cottrell placed 2nd with a PR. Men's team of Noah Winch, Grant Shankle, Mitchell Meyer & Cory Stoll placed 6th with another PR. Women's 400 Meter runner Laine Cottrell place 2nd with another PR. After that, it was the Women's 100 Meter and Laine placed 6th. In the Men's 110 High Hurdles, we had another National Champion with Hunter Cary and a fabulous 4th place finish and big PR from Jordan Bales! Next was the Women's 800 Meters and Kara Hovick placed 7th with another PR. Discus Throw: Molly Gearhart placed 3rd for the women and Josh Duerr got a PR and placed 8th for the men. 5000 Meter Run: for the women, another National Champion, Haley Hernanndez followed by Laura Maddox placing 4th. For the men Kyle Vinyard, Jacob Arnold and Devin St. Clair placing 2nd, 3rd and 8th.
Every single point and place matters when trying to bring home a team trophy. The Cardinals had their sights set on each team winning one of the coveted top 3 places and they accomplished their goal. The Mineral Area Cardinals from Park Hills, Missouri have have brought home the silver and the bronze with the Men finishing 2nd in the Nation and the Women finishing 3rd in the Nation! Way to go Cards! You have made us proud! The teams topped off the day with a celebration dinner at the Recovery Room Sports Grill.

Day 4 of our journey and our 2nd day of competition did not go as we had hoped, although we still had some amazing performances. To begin with, Hunter Cary is now the National Champion in the Men's Decathlon. 10 events in 2 days and he ended ahead of the competition! As well as the 10 events of the Decathlon, he also found time to compete in 6 other individual events. So far, he had scored points in the Javelin yesterday, the Shot today. He didn't score in the high jump, and narrowly missed the 100 Meter finals. He did however make it to the finals in the 400 Meter Hurdles and the 110 High Hurdles set for Saturday. Grayson Knernschield and Ricardo Menjivar made it to the podium in the Steeplechase in 6th and 7th place after just taking up the event in the last couple of weeks to try to put some points on the board for MAC. Liberty Coleman found her way to the podium again today placing 7th in the Women's High Jump. Rounding out the day for the girls, Laine Cottrell made it to the finals in the 100 Meter Dash and will also compete in the 400 Meter Dash finals on Saturday as well. Rachel Wilson and Kara Hovick made it to the finals in the 800 Meter Run. As mentioned before, both men and womens' teams qualified in the 4x100 Meter Relay finals also set to be run on Saturday. Another day in the record books but the final day has yet to come. Let's see what these Cardinals can do tomorrow after they rest and recover tonight. Go Cards!
