place finish ties the highest we have had a
Mahomet-Seymour runner ever place in this meet.

the respect of the State by running a 14:44.1 in the

by a Mahomet-Seymour runner in the nearly 50 years of our

Karsten Waisath and Grant Garrison were last minute
additions to the varsity race after we had some sickness
that opened up a spot. They both ran well despite
the pressure of joining such an intimidatingly large
varsity race. Karsten improved 41 seconds from his
best to run a 19:26.
Our fresh/soph runners had a couple nice packs.
Jonah Singer, Kyle Nofziger, and Joseph Scheele really
worked as a team the entire race. They made each
other better and as a result helped our team score.
These three are one of the very few freshmen ever to break
into the 16s in almost 50 years of our program. They
ran the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th fastest times of our entire team
for the day. They also had 3 of the highest

at this invitational. Jonah had the 4th highest
finish with 26th. Kyle had the 5th highest finish
with 28th. Joseph had the 16th highest finish in 19
years with 52nd. So many alumni, parents, and

16:50.

24 seconds. Taylor Fan has done an incredible job
coming off an injury. He improved his previous best
by 16 seconds to run a 19:42. Avery Seaman rounded
