CROSS COUNTRY
Indians soar at TVAA meet
COCOLAMUS -- Juniata boys and girls cross country each earned wins during a TVAA meet Wednesday at East Juniata High School, which was also senior night for the Indians.
In the first race, sophomore Sylvia Brubaker had a winning time of 19:23.7. Freshman Carolyn Heidenreich ran to a fourth-place finish with a time of 23:02.60. Freshman Hannah Zeiders came in next with a time of 24:04.40 to take fifth place overall. Modified scoring was used for the meet which allowed teams with less than five athletes to score.
"We were lucky to have modified scoring for the meet which allowed us to take wins against every girls team tonight. I had Sylvia run fartlek in her race and she executed the workout planned perfectly, coming away with more confidence after being a little disappointed with her BVI result on Saturday. Hannah ran a better race than BVI tonight with a new personal best time. Carolyn wasn't feeling the greatest in the race, but stayed tough and helped the team," Juniata coach Jeff Miller said.

"We got in a great workout tonight. I had Wyatt, Joey, Wesley, Coy, and Teagan run a fartlek workout within the 5k race to get some different stimulus than just racing a 5k all out. Kade, Joel, Luke, and David worked on their pacing since they are so new to the sport. It was a great night for everyone," Miller said.
In the junior high race, Juniata had 18 runners take part in the two-mile cross country race. Seventh grader Elliot Miller won the boys race with a time of 15:45.79.

"It was a little disappointing that we didn't have any junior high runners from other teams, but everyone competed like there was. I'm seeing improvement from everyone each week. Only a few have previous cross country experience so getting the kids to figure out pacing doesn't happen overnight. Many of them are figuring out how an even paced race will get them the best result in the end. I'm very fortunate to have such a great group of kids believe I can make them a much better runner," Miller added.
