Mayo Cross Country Invite 2010
A distant roar was heard from the clubhouse of Eastwood golf course last night, September 16, 2010. The roar was not bulldozers or cars but hundreds of fans cheering for participants of the annual 2010 Mayo Cross-country Invitational. The Mayo invitational has grown into being one of the biggest races in Minnesota with a total of 22 teams competing in the boy’s varsity race. The Mayo Spartans head coach, Brett Carroll, is very happy with how the Invitational has evolved from a small meet to a major event that is well known and allows younger runners to shine.
This year the star boys varsity runner, Riley Macon, was not able to run because of a hip injury. However this injury forced younger runners on the team to push themselves to run faster than they ever have before. Steven Schimmel is a prime example of this. Schimmel finished 14th overall in the 5k varsity race and finished 1st for Mayo in a time of 17:00 minutes. Although this is not his fastest 5k time ever, he is extremely proud of his performance and hopes to improve in the near future.
The Mayo boys’ Cross-Country team is now training for an upcoming invitational at Burnsville on September 30th.
