Last year on November 3rd, when Charlie Kistner ran 15:16.55 to place 9th at the IHSA 1A state meet held at Detweiller Park, it was believed that he had set a new school record. Then on August 25th, at the first meet of this year, he lowered that time to 15:14.7. Soon after that race, it was discovered that the school record was actually still held by Les Myers, who ran a time of 15:06 in the 1972 state meet at Detweiller Park. Les still holds the school record in the 3200 meter run, with a time of 9:17. Yesterday at Detweiller Park, Charlie put the newfound 48 year old record to rest when he ran an astonishing time of 15:04.6! With six weeks left in the season, who knows what he might still be capable of running. So congrats to Charlie for officially setting a new cross country 3-mile Olympia High School record.......again!
The high school XC teams had a great day at the 7-team meet hosted by Peoria Notre Dame at Detweiller Park today. The girls varsity team took third place with 83 points. The top 5 girls were Abby Litwiller(9th place-19:39), Anna Bieber(20:32), Rachel Andris (20:41), Chrystal Cornwell(21:07), and Cam Lawson(21:09).
The guys were team champs with 40 points, holding off the always-hard-to-beat Elmwood Trojans, who placed second with 58 points. Charlie Kistner was the top Spartan, taking 2nd place individually, and setting a new school record of 15:04.6! Rounding out the top five were Logan Wheeler (4th place in 15:55), Owen Dare (7th place in 16:13), Anthony Ragland (14th place at 16:29), and Alec Pfeffer (18th place at 16:34). Overall, the Olympia runners tallied up 17 season and/or all-time personal records today! Congrats runners; keep up the great work!
Thanks to modern technology, there is now a fun activity that combines satellite navigation, orienteering, computer skills, treasure hunting AND movement. OHS P.E. classes are working through this cross-curricular game called geocaching! #MovementAndLearning
