Alumni Run Results
At the 10th annual Bedford Alumni Run the Lady Mules had their first opportunity to show off all the hard work and training that went into the past summer. First for the lady mules was freshman Kelsey Calhoun in 20 minutes flat. She set a hard early pace putting her 14 seconds clear of the field by the first mile!!! Following close behind and finishing second was senior and team captain Kate Calhoun in a time of 20:28. Kallie Johnston was 3rd in 21:44, Amanda Zittleman was 4th in 21:50 bettering her all-time best performance by 38 seconds, Rachel Mayer was 5th in 22:01, Anne Redd 6th in 22:10, Mariah Robinette 7th in 22:43 setting a new PR by 46 seconds, Megan Sloan 8th in 23:03, Chelsea Gray 9th in 26:14, and Jodie Young finished 10th in 27:02. Great Job Ladies!!!

South Lyon Invitational

There were many good things that happened today at South Lyon and also some things we will have to work on. Let me first begin by congratulating the team for a strong effort, nice job ladies. Comparing the times from last year to the times from this year, our team is doing awesome. It is amazing to follow your progression from year to year. I would like to thank Emily Green and Heather Felkey for running around and getting all the splits for me.

Today's Runner of the Meet goes to Megan Sloan!!! She finished 6th in the Varsity B race in a time of 23:03 matching her time from the alumni run exactly. She ran a very gutsy race and never gave up, fighting to the end. Her time moves her up to sixth girl for Tiffin!!! great job Megan. In fact I was very impressed with the entire Varsity B Team today. Chelsea and Jodie also ran great races; all three girls continued to move up and ran strong races in the heat!!! Chelsea Gray was the only girl in either race to run faster than she did at the Alumni Run, bettering her time by 30 seconds...great job!!! The Varsity B race was a non-scoring event.

The Varsity A race had its ups and downs, and I think it really woke a few people up once we saw the times and results. Kate Calhoun lead the girls with a 5th place finish in a time of 20:50, she was followed closely by Kelsey Calhoun in 8th place in a time of 21:06, Kallie Johnston was 20th in 21:57, all three girls medaled in the race, great job ladies. Rounding out the rest of the top seven finishers were Rachel Mayer 26th(22:45), Amanda Zittleman 27th(22:46), both girls just missed getting a medal, top 25 finishers received awards, Mariah Robinette was 36th(23:45), and Anne Redd 38th(24:24)......nice job today ladies!!! The heat played into the equation for some of the girls today, but everyone in the race had to deal with the conditions so I refuse to accept that as an excuse.

We finished 15th out of 28 teams in the Division I Varsity A race with 375 points, an improvement of 8 places from last year. The mostly sunny day with a slight breeze made for a great day of running and the fast times were proof of that.

Great Job Ladies!!!

Runner of the Meet: Amanda Zittleman earned the honor this week with a fantastic performance in the Division I Varsity A Race. She got a great start putting herself in a position early on to have a great race. Her time of 20:56 was an amazing 2:34 seconds faster than last year, and a new Overall PR by 54 seconds placing her 84th in the race. Great Job Amanda!!!

SEC Jamboree #1

The girls did a great job today. Saline's course is very tough with some big hills. The girls knew it was not a course to run a fast time on, and I talked to the them about concentrating more on their place in the race. Kelsey Calhoun ran a great race and finished 4th overall leading the mules to a 4th place finish. Beating Pioneer was a definite highlight of the afternoon.

MSU Invitational

The Spartan Invite was held yesterday at Forest Akers East Golf Course in Lansing, MI. It was a rainy overcast day and the course was a little spongy from all of the rain. However, it still made for a fast day and there were many great times run throughout the day. Bedford's girls' were entered into the Nike Elite Race. This was a great experience for the girls as they raced against many of the top teams in the state and it was a great preview of what they will see at MIS on November 1st. The lady mules were finishing up a long week of racing and training, and this was their 3rd race in 7 days. Even on heavy legs and fighting through a few colds and injuries they still ran a great race, many of them running there best time of the season and we even added a few Overall PR's!!! Anne Redd was back and ready to race, running a time of 22:12 moving her back onto the varsity squad. This was her first race back since hurting her ankle after South Lyon. Megan Sloan also ran an Overall PR in a time of 22:08......great job girls!!!
