State Meet

It was hard to believe that the state meet was once again upon us!  Not surprisingly, Noah Breker, was back to represent Armstrong!  Noah came into the race a week after rolling his ankle in the conference meet and feeling a little under the weather.  As expected, Noah, ran a strong race.  He was in the lead pack most of the race.  Unfortunately he rolled his ankle once again late in the race.  He finished the race with a notable limp but was still able to come in seventh place overall!  It probably wasn't the finish he hoped for but everyone who follows Armstrong cross country and Noah Breker know that he has many great races in front of him!  Congratulations to Noah!

Conference Championship

The expectations were high for the Falcons as they arrived at the Conference Championship and they did not disappoint!  The Varsity won the conference and Noah Breker was the overall champion!  Noah was joined later in the day by Caitlyn Osanai, who won the overall championship for the girls, making it a clean sweep for Armstrong!  The weather turned bad after the Varsity race and the JV ended up racing with the girls JV.  A big congratulations to Noah Breker, Alex Omodt, Gabriel Wiegert, and Grant Redelsheimer who earned All-Conference honors.  Not to be outdone, Antonio Guerrero Garcia, earned All-Conference JV honors!  Another highlight of the day was put on by Sam Majewski, who lost a shoe during the race.  But with his never die attitude, finished the race strong and finished 5th for Armstrong which proved to be strong enough to lead them to the championship!

Tom Watson Invite

This race followed up the Griak Invite and was for the JV and middle schoolers.  Sophomore, Owen McNutt, had a great race finishing in a time of 19:50.  Senior, Ben Squires, led the way for the Falcons finishing with an impressive time of 19:02.  Overall, there were nine PR's set on this day!

Hopkins Invatational

Thank goodness the race was postponed for a day!  The hot and humid weather gave way and the Falcon runners were greeted by a cool and slightly wet day!  It turned out to be a nice day for both the JV and Varsity.  The JV placed sixth out of nine teams while the varsity came in third out of a strong eleven team field!  Sophomore, Gabriel Wiegert, ran the ninth fastest time in school history for a sophomore.  Senior, Alex Omodt, ran the second fastest time for a Falcon at this race with a time of 15:54!  Finally, Noah Breker, broke his own school record by finishing in a time of 14:57.2!

Kleyman Time Trial

After an overnight rain, the sun came out and it was a beautiful morning for a race!  Twelve Falcon runners set their PR on the course!  They were led by junior, Adam Marable, who set his PR by an amazing 51 seconds.  Senior, Alex Omodt, set the overall pace and finished in a very impressive time of 10:23!  Once again one of the crowd favorites had to be, Wade Majewski, who ran for the Alumni!  In last year's race he posted an amazing time of 13:31!  This year with his intensive training and rigid diet, he ran the course in an incredible time of 13:07!

Lefty Wright Invite

The Falcon runners have been to quite a number of meets this year but this one far and away topped all of them!  It was a top notch experience for runners and fans alike from the moment they arrived at Bassett Creek Park until the time they left!  This would not have been the case without all the hard work from Coach Stephens, Coach Woelfle, and Coach Hubred!  Also, a special shout-out to all the parent volunteers that helped make this such a success!

It was a beautiful fall day again and the Falcon runners took full advantage of it!  There was a total of nine PR's set on this day!  Eighth grader, Anders Hassis, led the pack by besting his PR by an incredible 1 minute and 4 seconds!  Sophomores, Andrew Brincks and Jake Wilkinson, both were medal winners in their race.  However, probably the highlight of the day was watching the four seniors run their final race for Armstrong!  Jayden Overdahl, Isaac Eshbach, and Eric Matushak all had very strong final races!  Jakob Swenson, really stepped it up and set his own PR on his final race as a Falcon!

Thundering Royal Elk

This race was held in Otsego on a course that the boys call, The Pancake Course.  A number of the Falcon runners continued to improve as 10 of them set their PR at the race.  Eighth grader, Joshua Sweeney, continued to make great strides and led this group by setting his PR by an impressive 1 minute and 5 seconds.  Both the Varsity and JV teams had runners that placed very high in their respective races.  The Varsity was led yet again by, Noah Breker and Alex Omodt, who finished first and second overall.  The JV had three runners placing in the top five.  They were Nate Majewski (2nd), Jake Wilkinson (4th), and Jayden Overdahl (5th)!

Hopkins Invite

It was a beautiful day for a race and the Falcon runners participated in three!  The Varsity and JV ran on the 5K course.  Seven runners set their PR.  Freshman, Bjorn Orstad, led this pack by setting his PR by a very impressive 2 minutes and 20 seconds!  Once again, Noah Breker and Alex Omodt, were t-shirt winners.  They placed fourth and seventh in the Varsity race.  The Junior High race was a 1.8 mile race and all seven runners set their PR!

Alumni Race

It was a beautiful morning for the first race of the year!  The course was a little wet but by the looks of it all the runners had a great time!  Ten runners set their PR's on this race!  Owen McNutt led this pack by topping his PR by 1 minute and 20 seconds!  A special shout-out to Wade Majewski, who surprised the crowd (and probably even himself) finishing in 11th place with a very impressive time of 13:31!
