On Friday, September 18 members of the Lincoln Academy Cross Country team (LAXC) completed a 2-Mile time trial on the upper section of the LA cross country course. Boys (16) and girls (12) completed three-plus laps of a 1,000 meter loop and splits were recorded every 1,000 meters and at the mile mark and finish (2 miles). The complete results are provided below.
In addition to split times, the results include a pacing analysis. Team members who ran a relatively even pace (even) or who ran faster during the latter stages or the race (negative) are identified in the split analysis (1-2 Split). While team members are always encouraged to run their own races, learning to run an even pace or run faster over the latter stages of a race are important skills to develop.
Historically, Lincoln runs a two mile race after the first two weeks of practice at Medomak Valley. Due to COVID disruptions, we did not do that this year but given the similarities between the two courses, the results also include a comparison of times from 2019 (Medomak) and 2020 (Lincoln) for team members who ran both races (19-20 +/-). The “Biggest Loser” is the team member who drops the most time from one year to the next. This week’s Biggest Loser is Will Sherrill who dropped 1 minute and 18 seconds from last year’s Medomak 2-Miler time followed by Bao Dang who dropped 1:04. Liam Card, who finished as LA's fastest runner on the day in a time of 11 minutes and 30 seconds, dropped 42 seconds from last year while the fastest female finisher, Audrey Hufnagel, who ran 14:26, is a first-year team member and did not compete at Medomak in 2019.
Thank you to Sepp Zammuto and Ellery Micklich for helping to set up the course, to Emma Tolley, Caitlin Cass, Izzy Petersen, Nick Menice, Jack Deangelis, and Sepp for recording splits, and to Jenny Mayher for taking photos. Great to have so many people finding a need and filling it to support the team!
