The Sturgis East boys’ cross country team started their season by practicing for their first meet on Saturday, September 8th in Marthas Vineyard. They raced against thirteen different teams from across the Cape. Sturgis Cross Country was the second smallest team at the meet, and unfortunately they could not pull off a win. Their top three runners were seniors Mitch Kimber, Devin Low, and Noah Lonergan, who had recently quit Sturgis soccer to join the cross country team. However, the team kept their hopes up for an upcoming race against Sturgis West.
A few days later on Wednesday, September 12, both boys and girls cross country teams came together in a race against Sturgis West. There was much excitement and competitive attitude seeing as this was a race against Sturgis’s “other side”, the side that East is so often eager to compete with. However, the team was missing one of their top runners Alaina Ohm, due to an injury, and they were worried about the outcome of the race. Despite missing one of their top runners, and regardless of the fact that Sturgis East’s home course is known as one of the hardest on the Cape, the boy’s cross country team made an easy win against Sturgis West. They claimed 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th, and 8th places while West was only able to take 4th, 7th, and lower places. While the boys celebrated this victory, the Sturgis East girl’s cross country team was not as successful, and they lost the race against West. This was also their first race, so they will have plenty of time in the season to improve. However, both teams hope to defeat West in their next race.
Both teams look forward to improving in their future races.
