Minooka Flight Meet Up Next!
On Saturday (Sept 17), the Mustangs will travel to Channahon Community Park to race in the 43rd annual Minooka Flight Invitational. Competition will be fierce with Yorkville, Batavia, Lyons Township, and the host team from Minooka all having excellent teams.
The morning will begin with boys and girls F/S races at 8:30a and 8:35a. After those races conclude, the varsity flight races will start. Each varsity team races one runner at a time against the other schools, starting with the #7 runners. When the #7 runners have reached the 1-mile point of the race, the #6 runners begin their race. This continues until they reach the championship flight where everyone’s #1 runners will face off. It is a unique format that gives each varsity runner equal responsibility for the team score (all 7 runners count toward the score). Following the flight races, the remainder of the team will race in the Open race. You can find more specific meet information and eventual results on the Run Minooka website.
Our bus will leave DGS at 6:30a. The following girls will compete in the F/S race for DGS: Allison Calek, Julie LaLonde, Erin Glennon, Amanda Annese, Clare Quirin, Gillian Musial, and Marlo Rachie.
In the flight races, Kennedy Warden will run flight 7, Olivia Duax – flight 6, Erin Reidy – flight 5, Brenna Cohoon – flight 4, Melissa Weidner – flight 3, Becky Versaskas – flight 2, and Katie Stapleton – flight 1.
All remaining DGS athletes will compete in the Open race that will start 25 minutes after the boys open race.
On Monday (Sept 19), the Mustangs travel to KLM Park in Hinsdale for our 2nd triangular meet of the season vs Hinsdale South and Proviso East.
