MCC

Hello again and welcome back. This week was the conference race so I will do my best to update you on pre and post race information. Friday night I had the varsity guys and the coaches over for a team dinner. It was a lot of fun as we competed in an epic washers tournament in my backyard before dinner while tossing around a football and a frisbee. Our neighbor's fence broke in two places when unnamed people tried to hurtle the fence to retrieve the ball. Luckily, I was able to partially fix it with a bottle of wood glue. Hopefully, they won't notice because they already don't like my family.

After dinner we went down to the basement to play Nintendo 64. We decided to play 2 vs. 2 team battles with cross country style scoring. I started out with Plass as my teammate, but I quickly switched to Glenn as my teammate because Plass wasn't too great at Mario Kart. Glenn and I easily knocked off Patrick and Pribe in the semifinals to move into the finals vs. Nick and Matt. Sully had to take over for Glenn when he left. The final race was Rainbow Road with Matt making a late move to beat me and take first place. Sully fell of the track somehow and finished fourth so Matt and Nick won the tournament.

The next morning the varsity team raced early at 9am. It was great weather and our team ran quite well with a lot of perfect races. Nick finished first team-all conference (6th overall) with an awesome time of 16:49. Sully (2nd team) and Matt (2nd team) finished 9th and 10th. I came in right behind them in 11th with a 17:14. Glenn, Plassmeyer, and Austin (2nd team) also ran quite well and everyone medaled (top 20 finish). We finished 2nd as always but it was nice to beat a couple of SLUH's runners. Alex Potter took pictures with the new team camera. The album along with the other are posted on The Milk Table Facebook page. The new camera is awesome! We have a week off from racing before our big District race two weeks from now at Parkway Central.
