Verona Invitational Video Highlights Stephen Bain Sep 06, 2014

The 50th Anniversary of Verona Cross Country was celebrated in great fashion.  Alumni from state championship teams, all-state runners, and even runners from the first ever team made themselves present.  Ryan Nameth (Verona) put on a show as he challenged defending State Champion, Olin Hacker (Madison West).  However, Hacker was able to fend off Nameth as he won in a state leading time of 15:20.  Nameth would run an impressive 15:34.

On the girl's side, Amy Davis was the class of the field by winning in 18:23.  Equally fun to watch was the Middleton Pack Attack as they had a :27 gap as they won the team battle by 1 point over Madison West.  There will be many fun battles to come.

The Division 3 Boys Race appears to be wide open entering the year after the departure of a majority of the leading times.  Only Dakota Kauffman enters the season with a sub-16 minute performance.  However, I feel we can expect to see a lot of break through performers which should make it an interesting season.
