FBA vs. UA
Congratulations are in order for Ursuline Academy for their 15-44 victory over FBA.
The main FBA highlights came from a pair of big PRs. Erin Fanikos hit 26:00, a new best by 27 seconds! Deirdre Cahill matched that 27-second improvement in her first race back from injury, and broke the family course record in the process. Congratulations.

FBA v. NDA
Congratulations to Notre Dame Academy for a strong 15-50 victory today.
On the Fontbonne side, though, there was also a lot to like. FBA, you did a good job running your own races and keeping your heads despite illnesses. You all found ways to compete for yourselves and for your team.
In the JV race, Caitlyn Hansbury set a new PR by 3 seconds with a superb finish.
In the varsity race, Michelle Hurwitz ran a PR for the 3rd straight race, dropping to 24:52 with a couple of powerful moves on the hills.
Collette O'Connor led the team in 24:07 with a competitive finish.
Shannon Glynn had improved her PR by half a minute with a strong second half of the race. Erin Fanikos (7-second PR)and Caroline Brady, who stepped up to the varsity race again, joined Shannon running hard up gasline and down to the finish in an inspiring team effort.
You are becoming better not just as runners but also as racers.
Thanks go out to Deirdre Cahill, Emily Chabot, and, of course, Mrs. Nilan for helping to run the meet.
