Undefeated
Girls face rival
At mid-season, the lady Running Mustangs find themselves in a familiar
situation; undefeated and preparing for their nemesis...the Gateway
Gators. These two teams have met under these same circumstance
for the past two season. Plum defeated Gateway in 2000 and went
on to claim the section title. The Gators returned the favor in
2001 on their home course. The section championship will be on
the line again this year when the Gators face the Running Mustangs on
Plum's newly designed course.
Boys face ups
and downs
The Plum boys made an early statement with a
3rd place finish at the Gateway Invitational. However, the
Running Mustangs stumbled against section foe Highlands and had a less
than expected 14th place finish at the Slippery Rock Invitational.
With a total team effort, the Mustangs bounced back in a big way by
defeating a tough Central Catholic team by one point.
The team has been working hard in
preparation for the second half of the season. An extra dose of
hard work has been added to recent workouts as the Mustangs look
forward to racing their rival, the Gateway Gators. It will be Senior
Night and the Plum's only home meet of the year.
