Outstanding Runner Award

Matt Hollman is this year's outstanding male runner for the Crete Cardinals. Matt qualified for the State Meet for the second time this season. He was a medallist in 8 out of 10 meets, defeated 84% of the runners he faced, and led our team for the second year in a row. Matt always came to the meet ready to compete to the best of his ability. He set a good example in practice by traning hard and preparing for each competition. Matt's contirbution to this team will be sorely missed next season. It has been an enjoyable three years with Matt as a member of our team.

Christine Rose is this season's outstanding female runner. Christine has been a member of the team for 4 years. Her quiet demeanor does not hide the fact that she strives to compete and preform at the highest level she can achieve. Christine has consistently led the girls team this season. Christine defeated 50% of the runners she faced this season. She was very dependable throughout her high school running career and has been a pleasure to coach.

Kadron Fye competed in five meets this year and finished in first place each time. This is the first time in Crete Jr. High CC that we have had five meets and an athlete that won every time out. Congratulations to Kadron on a fine season.
He set the following school records:
Aurora Invite 8:40 1.5 mile race
Waverly Invite 10:32 1.5+ miles
Fairbury Invite 5:26 1 mile
