* The Demons took the state

Junior Olympics cross country

meet by storm on Sunday,

Nov. 8 at UW-Parkside.

Three first place finishes and

strong peformances all around!

Dedication is the story here.

Our runners continued to train

for almost another month after

school xc season ended, and

those going to national have

several more weeks of training

in colder weather. Demons are

strong and brave, bring it on!

* Bailey Wolf raced onto the area running scene in 2009, winning lots of road race age division firsts and even some overall female firsts. She wowed the crowd at the Cellcom Green Bay Marathon 5K with a time of 18:54. She went on for an age division 1st at the Bellin Run 10K, then first in the 1500 and 3000 at the state AND regional Junior Olympics track meet. Then came national in North Carolina, where she placed 5th in the 3000 and 6th in the 1500 (5:04 in pouring rain and puddles!). Bailey rocks!

* At the 2008 Wisconsin Junior Olympics cross country meet, the Demons ran strong once again. Morgan Jindra and Daniel Vopal placed fourth in the midget division, Anna Miller was sixth in youth girls, and Ryan Patterson and Emmett Delaney were sixth and eleventh in youth boys.

*    The Distance Demons club won a national USA Track & Field grant for a new partnership with the Boys & Girls Club of Green Bay.  More about it here.
