The Germantown Boys' Cross Country Team competed at the Greater Metro Conference Championships on Friday, October 16th at Rotary Park in Menomonee Falls. The weather gave the team a little bit of everything that day with gusty winds, rain showers, and some beautiful sunshine. Mentally, the team was prepared for the weather and ready to compete with 15 runners achieving personal records (PRs).
In the Varsity race the team was ranked 7th coming into the meet and achieved their goal of moving up a spot in the team standings. The Varsity group finished 6th ahead of Brookfield Central and Wauwatosa West with a great team effort. Junior Vander Hausmann led the team with a 6th place finish running a PR of 16:03.4 for the 5k distance. Vander also earned First Team All-Conference Honors and enters the Germantown Boys' Cross Country All-Time Top 10 List at #6 on the list. A trio of sophomores were the team's next 3 runners across the line and they all ran PRs: Emanuel Santiago, Ishaan Singh, and Will Grimm. Ben Armstrong (junior) was the final scoring runner and he was followed by juniors Blake Yegge (who ran a PR) and Chase Schellinger.
The JV Squad came into the GMC Championships relaxed, but focused on putting together a great effort with many of the athletes going for PRs. The top 5 scoring runners for the team all achieved PRs! Will Reedy (freshman) led the way and he was followed by Connor McGinty (freshman), Amay Desai (senior), Jimmy Zheng (senior), and Max Goltry (freshman). The following runners also had PRs in the race: Wyatt Privat (sophomore), Josiah Schmidt (senior), Colin Hecker (senior), Nathan Schroeder (sophomore), and Jeremy Santos Madrd (sophomore).
The team's five seniors were also celebrated at the GMC Meet: Amay Desai, Colin Hecker, Gabe Pearman, Josiah Schmidt, and Jimmy Zheng.
