The co-op’s lead runner, Max Adams, broke the 18-minute mark for the first time of his career Thursday. Sticking around the front once he managed to break out of the crowded starting pack, Adams came into the final mile in fourth. Over that final stretch, the junior managed to pass Marshfield’s Owen Hoerneman and Owen-Withee’s Colton Paczkowski to come out of the woods in second place. Adams kept that lead over the final stretch and finished with personal best finishes both in placement and time. His time of 17:49.6 was second only to Columbus Catholic’s Isaac Scheer’s 17:16.4.

Matthew Sprotte, Jack Schindler, Jack Sheahan and Joseph Streveler also had personal bests set at Spencer. Sprotte, who finished second for the co-op and 15th overall, came in with a final time of 19:00.4. Schindler took 25th, Sheahan 37th, and Streveler 41st, with new PRs of 19:46.6, 20:59.5, and 21:23.4 respectively.

Braylon Schoelzel had a seasonal best time of 19.41.8 to place 24th and Carter Roth took 28th, crossing the finishing line in 20:16.6.

Both teams are set to make a trip to Athens this coming Thursday, September 29th. The meet is to start at 4:00 p.m.
