Over the weekend the AMHS cross country team competed at the Grizzly invite in Hoquium, Washington. Individually Lindsey Dorney won the small schools division with a PR tying 19:42 on a wet and sloppy course. On the boys side Patrick Hyatt and Pete Smith finished in the top 10 individually in the varsity race which paced the team to a 2nd place finish in the small school division.
When comparing our performances versus the field I was impressed by how often we were at our PR our faster so I compared our performances versus the field. I compared the top 40 times in each race and compared the athletes best before the invite versus what they ran at the invite. On the girls side the average was 14 seconds slower at the Hoquium Invite for the field, for AMHS it was an 11 second IMPROVEMENT! A difference of 24 seconds relative to the field. On the boys side, the average was 9 seconds slower, for AMHS it was a 4 second IMPROVEMENT. A difference of 13 seconds better than the rest of the field.
Great job AMHS!
