The common themes for the 2020 Olympia Boys XC team are “1st place team finish” and “Charlie Kistner breaks the school record.....again!” Both of those happened again yesterday at the 7-team meet held at Olympia. The Spartans scored 31 points, followed closely by 6th ranked Monticello with 39 points. The top 5 runners for Olympia were senior Charlie Kistner (1st place with a school record time of 14:57.7), senior Logan Wheeler (5th at 15:54), junior Owen Dare (7th at 16:21), junior Anthony Ragland (10th at 16:34), and junior Carter Phillips (12th at 16:39). The guys racked up 7 personal records yesterday. Congratulations to Charlie and all of the guys! Next Saturday at St. Joseph-Ogden, the guys will attempt to defend their 2019 Conference Title. Good luck guys!

Olympia High School hosted a 7-team XC race yesterday and the girls placed 3rd with 75 points, behind #1 ranked Monticello and #3 ranked Tolono Unity.

The Oly gals tallied 4 season personal records. Congratulations ladies! Good luck next Saturday at the Varsity Conference meet at St. Joseph-Ogden.

For the second weekend in a row, the #1 ranked Olympia guys’ cross country team battled the #2 ranked Elmwood Trojans. Yesterday, Elmwood hosted a 5-team meet and the Spartans ended up on top of a somewhat lopsided victory, with all seven varsity runners placing in the top ten of the race. Olympia tallied only 25 points, while Elmwood scored 44 points and Tremont ended up 3rd place with 79 points. Olympia’s individual times and places were: Charlie Kistner (1st in 15:22), Logan Wheeler (4th in 16:08), Owen Dare (5th in 16:21), Carter Phillips (7th in 16:42), Alec Pfeffer (8th in 16:43), Lucas Lawless (9th in 16:43), and Anthony Ragland (10th in 16:50).

The Olympia High School girls’ cross country team placed first at a 5-team meet hosted by Elmwood. Olympia scores 44 points, followed closely by Tremont with 46 and Elmwood with 55. The top five Spartans were soph. Abby Litwiller (2nd place in 19:41), soph. Anna Bieber (3rd place in 19:48), fr. Rachel Andris (7th place in 20:44), soph. Cam Lawson (12th place in 21:14), and senior Emily Litwiller (20th place in 22:29). Congrats gals!
