The Notre Dame Boys and Girls Cross Country Teams opened the regular season up on winning notes in beating Keshequa in a meet held at Avon High School. Kevin Pawlak was the race winner in 17:39. The Irish took the next four spots with Nate Flumerfeldt (18:23), Andrew Fischer (18:50), Nick Flumerfledt (19:38), and Luke Calla (19:57). Jason Harasimowicz (20:37) and Matt Sausner (21:27) finished 9th and 10th respectively. Conlan Edwards and Woody Clark (24:19) finished neck and neck with Conlan out-leaning Woody to take 12th and 13th in the race. The final score was ND 15 and Keshequa 44. The score of Cross Country is based on places so that the team with the low score wins.
The girl's had an easy day as the Keshequa girl's had an incomplete team. The top four Irish ladies all finished within 15 seconds of each other. Rachel Berggren was second in the race with a 24:30, with Bailee Welker in third (24:32), Meghan Zickl fourth (24.35) and Kristen Antolos fifth (24:45). Teresa Jackson (30.19) placed 6th, Jenny Calarco (31:13) was 7th and Sydney Moag (41.28) placed 8th.
The Irish will be off this weekend and back in action on next Tuesday in Livonia.
