Girls XC Spartan Invitational Performances Do Not Disappoint
True to form, the Michigan State Spartan Invitational made for a day of records among the Dexter Girls Cross Country runners.
Traditionally, this is a fast and enjoyable course on rolling turf, and yesterday’s race had the added benefit of perfect weather for running: a light breeze and mostly sunny skies with temperatures in the 70s. The meet was host to 210 teams and twenty-one total races throughout the day.
Lindsey Hayter (21:36) and Anna Varitek (21:48) both posted season records in the Spartan Elite Varsity Race. Also scoring for Dexter were Dani Waidley (20:14), Jaquelynn Terbush (21:33), and Claire Ketzner (21:48). Rounding out the varsity line-up for the meet were Gigi Eisele and Abby McLean.
The fast paced junior varsity race ended in six season records: Julia Bell (22:30), Megyn Scafasci (22:35), Sarah Read (24:23), Kara O’Day (24:48), Chloe Vorias (25:56), and Lydia Savatsky (27:10). Other strong performances came from Grace Lopez, Heather Brouwer, Amanda Hubert, Rachel Bristow, and Emma Streetman.
