For the second weekend in a row, the #1 ranked Olympia guys’ cross country team battled the #2 ranked Elmwood Trojans. Yesterday, Elmwood hosted a 5-team meet and the Spartans ended up on top of a somewhat lopsided victory, with all seven varsity runners placing in the top ten of the race. Olympia tallied only 25 points, while Elmwood scored 44 points and Tremont ended up 3rd place with 79 points. Olympia’s individual times and places were: Charlie Kistner (1st in 15:22), Logan Wheeler (4th in 16:08), Owen Dare (5th in 16:21), Carter Phillips (7th in 16:42), Alec Pfeffer (8th in 16:43), Lucas Lawless (9th in 16:43), and Anthony Ragland (10th in 16:50).
The Olympia High School girls’ cross country team placed first at a 5-team meet hosted by Elmwood. Olympia scores 44 points, followed closely by Tremont with 46 and Elmwood with 55. The top five Spartans were soph. Abby Litwiller (2nd place in 19:41), soph. Anna Bieber (3rd place in 19:48), fr. Rachel Andris (7th place in 20:44), soph. Cam Lawson (12th place in 21:14), and senior Emily Litwiller (20th place in 22:29). Congrats gals!

Last year on November 3rd, when Charlie Kistner ran 15:16.55 to place 9th at the IHSA 1A state meet held at Detweiller Park, it was believed that he had set a new school record. Then on August 25th, at the first meet of this year, he lowered that time to 15:14.7. Soon after that race, it was discovered that the school record was actually still held by Les Myers, who ran a time of 15:06 in the 1972 state meet at Detweiller Park. Les still holds the school record in the 3200 meter run, with a time of 9:17. Yesterday at Detweiller Park, Charlie put the newfound 48 year old record to rest when he ran an astonishing time of 15:04.6! With six weeks left in the season, who knows what he might still be capable of running. So congrats to Charlie for officially setting a new cross country 3-mile Olympia High School record.......again!
The high school XC teams had a great day at the 7-team meet hosted by Peoria Notre Dame at Detweiller Park today. The girls varsity team took third place with 83 points. The top 5 girls were Abby Litwiller(9th place-19:39), Anna Bieber(20:32), Rachel Andris (20:41), Chrystal Cornwell(21:07), and Cam Lawson(21:09).
The guys were team champs with 40 points, holding off the always-hard-to-beat Elmwood Trojans, who placed second with 58 points. Charlie Kistner was the top Spartan, taking 2nd place individually, and setting a new school record of 15:04.6! Rounding out the top five were Logan Wheeler (4th place in 15:55), Owen Dare (7th place in 16:13), Anthony Ragland (14th place at 16:29), and Alec Pfeffer (18th place at 16:34). Overall, the Olympia runners tallied up 17 season and/or all-time personal records today! Congrats runners; keep up the great work!
