Drew Spicer advances to Virginia AAA Championship meet with 12th place finish in Central Region meet
Saturday, November 5, 2005 - Pole Green Park, Hanover Country, VA
Drew Spicer kept coach Stockdreher's string of AAA State Championship meet appearances intact with a strong 12th place finish in Saturday's Central Region Championship. Drew stayed with the leaders from the start of the race. With under 1000 meters to run, Drew had dropped to about 16th, but passed several runners, including one in the final 50 meters to finish 12th.
The remaining Deep Run boys, denied the chance to run in the varsity meet after a 5th place finish in the District Meet, got revenge in the sub-varsity race. They took first, with David Lynch shaking off a pre-race auto accident to lead the race from nearly start to finish. Booth Hornsby(6th) and Matt Turner(8th) joined David in the top 15 finishers.
Deep Run girls' season ends with 9th place finsh
Kate Putney was the first Deep Run girl to cross the finish line the girls' varsity Central Region Championship. Erin Bragg finished next for Deep Run, followed by Rebecca Kuzemchak, Katie Harrell, Dominique Bennett, Stephanie Morton and Lindsey Jones.
It was a somewhat disappointing finish to a season that started with great promise at the Fork Union meet. The high level of competition in the Central Region will continue for years to come, as there were only 2 seniors among the top 15 finishers.
