Palmer Invitational

September 2, 2017

The Valdez Buccaneers travelled to Palmer for the Palmer Invitational.  Over 30 teams competed in the Open, JV and Varsity races.  Valdezcompeted in JV and took 13^th place.  Each runner improved from last week’s times.  Katelyn Wadsworth finished with a new personal best of 24:18.  Sophia was sadly not present for this meet and was sorely missed.  Rafael Alfaro and Kalin Woods continue to battle for Valdez’s top positions.  Alfaro edged Woods out by 6 seconds.  Ben Swanson joined our team and finished with a strong 21:51.  Aiden McAtee also improved his time by 9 seconds.  Brenner Wilson made the greatest improvement, shaving two minutes off is time to finish 32:14.  The course was a great combination of rolling hills and flats.  Runners completed three laps around Michael Janacek Trails adjacent to Palmer High School.  Two runners did trip on tree roots on the trail.  Each runner creates a plan and implements that plan to improved their race times.  So far all their hard work and pre-race planning is paying off.  Next Saturday we will be running in Delta.
