Girls Finish 20th at State Saturday at Woodward Park in Fresno the Saint Francis Girls Varsity team finished the season with a 20th-place finish in the Division II race of the California State Cross Country Championships. The team was lead by junior Emilie Sitler’s 134th place finish in time of 20:35. She was followed by sophomore Madeline Roemer (142 in 20:41), senior Annelise Brochier (151 in 20:58), junior Lauren Madigan (162 in 21:17), sophomore Emilia Schrier (164 in 21:23) and senior Adriana Romero (169 in 21:35). Maddy moves to #5 spot and Emilia moves up to #10 on the Sophomore List for All-Time SFHS Woodward Park list. Lauren grabs #8 on the junior list, and Annelise and Adrianna take the #11 and 14 spots on the senior list, respectively. Despite the loss of the Lancer’s number 1 runner most of the year (Morgan Healy dropped at after 2 miles), the team still manages to run only 18 seconds slower than they ran at the Clovis Invitational in October (1:04.36 at Clovis with Morgan’s 19:47 versus 1:04.54 at the State Meet without her). The State Meet team currently sits in the #7 spot on the All-Time Team List. Full results and pictures to follow. Results for all races is available on the State Meet website here. |

Girls Going to State On Saturday at the Central Coast Section Championships at Crystal Springs in Belmont the Varsity Girls team put together one of their best races of the season and finished third with 167 points (just nipping Presentation at 173 and Leigh at 175). The team was lead by a great effort from sophomore Morgan Healy. Morgan finished 7 overall with a time of 18:38 (#2 of the SFHS All-Time Crystal Springs Marks for sophomores and #5 overall). She was followed by two runners under 20:00: sophomore Madeline Roemer in 31st at 19:51 (up 2 spots on the sophomore list to 20th) and junior Emilie Sitler in 35th at 19:59 (up 10 places on the junior list to 14th). Senior Annelise Brochier (51st in 20:35) and sophomore Emilia Schrier (53rd in 20:36) were runners number 4 and 5 for the team. Junior Lauren Madigan (58th in 20:48) and senior Adriana Romero (61st in 20:53) were numbers 6 and 7 for the team. Lauren Madigan also joins a very elite group of Saint Francis female athletes that have made it to 2 State Meets in two different sports. Lauren was part of the Girls Track team 4x400 relay that competed in the State Track and Field Championships last June. That makes 2 state meets in 6 months. The top 3 teams in Division II go on to the State Meet in 2 weeks at Woodward Park in Fresno. Saint Francis will be joining Mountain View and Los gatos from CCS in the Division 2 race. The Lady Lancers will be running at 8:00am on Saturday the 28th. |

Los Gatos finished 1 point behind Saint Francis, and Lynbrook was only 10 points back as well (Mountain View finished 3 in the Seeded race and would have won the D2 race had they raced here). The only other WCAL team in the D2 race was Saint Ignatius which finished 14th (40 points back). It should e a good WCAL and battle later in the season.

Gunn Alumni Meet On Thursday the Lancer Cross Country team travelled to Gunn High School for the annual Alumni Meet (non-scoring). The weather was better than last year’s 100+ heat (it was only in the high 90’s). Sophomore Moragn Healey, in her first ever cross country race (and coming off her 6th place finish last year in the CCS Track Meet 1600 final) ran the fastest time ever run on the 2.18-mile course with a fantastic time of 12:49 (6 seconds faster than Shelby Golan ran in 2007 and a blistering 5:52 per mile pace). Her time is also the 12th fastest time run by any girl from any school on the course. Following Morgan was Maddy Roemer (11 in 14:04), Emily Sitler (15 in 14:24), Annelise Brochier (16 in 14:24) and Adriana Roemero (20 in 14:52). The Junior Varsity race was won by another newcomer to Cross Country junior Lauren Madigan. Her time of 14:43 was good enough for a 7-second victory over second place. She was followed closely by Corri Montejano (4 in 14:52), Emilia Schrier (6 in 14:54), Tiffany Cardanini (9 in 15:12) and Carlie Mack (12 in 15:31) Pictures and Results are available below. |
