LINCOLN CHARTER MEN & WOMEN XC
2017 1A WEST REGIONAL CHAMPIONS
Swannona, NC - For the first time in school history the Lincoln Charter Men's and Women's Cross Country programs swept the 1A West Regional Championship meet. It was also a milestone for the men's program with its first-ever team championship and first ever individual regional champion, Drew Zink.
I also witnessed some very inspired running from senior Emily Elliott with a 25 second PR and runner-up finisher in the women's race. Junior Megan Minaudo had an amazing race and also set a personal record recording a stellar 5th place finish. Senior Maggie Hoey ran the fastest she has since 2016 state championship with a 21:34 and placed 8th. All three young women made 1A West All-Region Team. Sophomore Emma Lasarsky finished in a key position in front of two Murphy runners and Junior Caity Born gutted out a gritty performance to round out the top five.
Drew Zink cruised to an individual title that sparked a very hungry and aggressive men's team. Jonas Guffey, Cutter Law and Curtis Herms all posted personal records. Kenny Schild and Kinser Hudson made crucial passes during the race to help secure the men's team title. Overall an amazing team effort displayed by these young harriers.
