Repasy & Bluth Lead Milton HS Cross Country

The cross country teams at Milton High School opened up their season today with their annual time trial race to set their rosters for their first meet. The time trial race was held on the Milton High School course known as one of the toughest & slowest in the state.

GIRLS

The Lady Eagles are coming off their best state finish ever in school history (3rd) and show no signs of any weakness after today’s time trial race. Leading the way for the ladies was junior Marie Repasy. Her performance not only won the race but her time (21:14) was the 3rd-fastest ever run on the course by a Milton athlete. Repasy moved in front just before 3km and was never headed all the way to the finish. Senior captain Riley Burr (2nd-22:04) followed and fellow senior captain Victoria Wagner (3rd-22:32) concluded the top-3 award winners. Wagner also captained her winning “Team Kendall” to the team victory over 11 scoring squads. Team Kendall included Samantha Lenox, Faith Wagner, Kristy Weaver, Brooke Aumer, Fernanda Bonilla, Kendall Salmon & Wagner.

BOYS

Leaving just where he left off in 2014, senior Jack Bluth repeated as the overall winner. After shaking off a strong group of chasers, Bluth moved to the front for good just past the mile mark and ran just 14 seconds off the course record (1st-17:45). Sophomore Sam Bowers (2nd-18:05) and senior captain Clay Marshall (3rd-18:21) concluded the individual award winners. Senior John Fravel led his team “Oh wait, In 4th Place” to the team title besting 10 scoring teams. Winning team members included Hayden Davis, Angel Zamorano, Andrew Blizzard, Jack Rush, Jacob Jordan & Lincoln Tady, along with Fravel.

Both squads, which are currently ranked 2nd All-Class in the state, just based on returning runners from the 2014 team, are next in action on Saturday, August 22nd at Allatoona Creek Park in Acworth, GA for the Big Peach Ekiden Relay & 2-Mile Cross Country event.
