Clinton MS Cross Country Excels in 2021

 

The Clinton Middle School Cross Country program has accumulated 37 team trophies and 483 individual medals in the last 5 seasons.  “The success of the program is a direct result of the time and effort kids are willing to put in, including showing up for summer conditioning,” said Coach Delezenne.  Runners logged over 100 miles this summer in preparation for the 2021 campaign.  

  The 2021 team had 24 runners while earning 4 trophies and 87 medals.  The returning runners were motivated to improve on last season. Both teams were competitive and thrived on the success of one another.  Overall, it was a very successful season.

The boys team was a force to be reckoned with as it won the County and LCAA Championships!  The team was consistently led by Cole Hillegonds, Angel Rubio, Ben Jacobs, Ronan Stelzer, and Broden Manchester.  “This group steadily improved throughout the year and challenged for the top spot at every race” said Coach Delezenne. Grady Aldridge, Jack Morgan, Austin Strand, Nick Jacobs, Hudson Miller, Jacob Pizio, Samuel Quintana, Vinny Skidmore, Jaxen Speth, Zeke Turner, Haiden Bennett (mgr), Chris Scholten (mgr), and Uriah Sierer (mgr) rounded out the boys team.  

The girls team steadily improved over the course of the season.  The team was led by Aurelia Bennett and Ella Claus.  Dalia Albashir, Grade Farrell, Delilah Buckmaster, Aubree McClain, MaeLynn Williams, Molly Sierer, Elizabeth White, and Josslyn Handy (mgr) rounded out the girls team.  “This group was competitive all season and surprised many with its improvement” said Coach Delezenne.

Runners earning one medal or more this season - Ben Jacobs, Jack Morgan, Angel Rubio, Cole Hillegonds, Hudson Miller, Ronan Stelzer, Austin Strand, Grady Aldridge, Broden Manchester, Jaxen Speth, Dalia Albashir, Aurelia Bennett, Aubree McClain, MaeLynn Williams, Ella Claus, Grace Farrell, and Molly Sierer.

The boys record board changed quite a bit this year.  With the distances changing from race to race, pacing is used to determine times.  

7th grade records set this year - Cole Hillegonds 5:52 (1st) and Ronan Stelzer 6:27 (5th).

6th grade records set this year - Grady Aldridge 6:47 (4th).

The middle school program will graduate Ben Jacobs, Jack Morgan, Angel Rubio, Dalia Albashir, Aurelia Bennett, Delilah Buckmaster, and Elizabeth White to the high school team.
