The Women’s Race The women’s race features a healthy and hungry group of women for the Storm. As we have talked about with our team, all of the work, all of the effort and all of the sacrifice has pointed to this race. “everyone gets a PR today!” is our moto for conference. Our women have worked hard the last two weeks and have had great workouts.
We will know right away how things are going for our women. We will likely see SO. Emily Buchheit, SR Shelby Hunemiller and JR Audrey Klein up front followed by JR Ashley Literrer, Kate Murano, MacKenzie Laughlin, Kylie Orr, Cat Lucht and Abby Loeke. It will be important for our women to identify our key opponents early so we can run them down later.
Men’s Race We should recognize our seniors Kaylee Wilderson and Shelby Hunemiller wno are winding down their careers at Simpson. We are who we are because of our seniors. TRhank you Kaylee and Shelby.
The race we've been workings towards since last track season is here, and I couldn't be more pleased with our men and their attitudes, effort, and work ethic. They are in terrific shape and have done a tremendous job of doing the "little things" well all season long. I am thrilled for our four seniors and how well each of them have been running. Trey Thompson, Chad Carter, Drew Roen, and Logan Egeland are all running better then ever and are ready to have a great race. As always, the conference will be extremely tough! As long as we focus on running our best race of the season, we will be satisfied with the results. Our men have displayed great depth all season long, and we're going to rely on that during the race. I'm excited to see how our Top 7 runners will shake-out! We are ready to roll!
