Article #1: Week 1 Meet at Lebanon

THE FCHS CROSS COUNTRY TEAMS ARE OFF AND RUNNING!!

The 2007 FCHS Cross Country teams, featuring one of the biggest squads in school history, are off and running, having begun last Wednesday at Lebanon’s Horner Park. The Boy’s squad won its first contest of the year as they achieved a perfect score by placing the first seven runners in the top 7 slots. The Girl’s team finished second among the four schools represented, finishing only 2 points behind first place Waterloo.

The Midget Men, featuring 30 boys, are led by a solid group of experienced runners. The 2007 FCHS Boys feature 14 seniors, 5 juniors, 7 sophomores, and 4 freshmen. The top 7 finishers on Wednesday at Lebanon were Tim Mueller (SR), Josh Jennings (SR), Tyler Middendorf (SR), Ray Mueller (SO), Cory Ross (SR), Luc Heidenreich (JR), and Rylan Mitchell (SR). All 7 runners rounded out the top 7 places.

The Lady Midgets, featuring 37 girls, are led by a young but experienced group. The Girls, featuring 5 seniors, 13 juniors, 12 sophomores, and 7 freshmen, are led by senior Kate Sodam, junior Caitlin Schaefer, and sophomore Courtney Heidorn. The top 7 finishers on Wednesday were Courtney Heidorn (2^nd overall), Caitlin Schaefer (3^rd overall), Jac Lintzenich, Brooke Curtsinger, Jackie Taylor, Maddie Heidenreich, and Jessica Richert. Kate wasn’t able to run as she is recovering from an injury.

The Midgets have a busy week ahead, as they travel to SIUE for the Tiger Fall Classic on Wednesday and to Belleville West on Saturday.
