as reported by Coach Len Goldman
About 50 Piedmont kids ran in our first meet of the season at Cerrito Vista Park in El Cerrito. It was a hot day, the course is a bit hilly and has its own little quirks.
The first race was the 6th grade boys race. Please note space does not allow me to mention every child who ran in the race. 13 Piedmont boys ran in this race including two who are in our 5th grade development program. Henry Cooper, a 5th grader was our first finisher in 11th place, followed by Walter Teitelbaum in 12th place. In fact the first 5 Piedmont runners finished together in places 11 through 15th place.
Next was the 6th grade girls race and we had 12 kids in this race. Leading the way was Minnie Cooper in 5th place, closely followed by Genevieve Raushenbush in 6th, and Kate Gross-Whitaker in 8th place.
Our 7th & 8th grade boys competed next; due to an 8th grade field trip no 8th grade boys ran in this race. Blake Gruendl was the team's first finisher in 7th place and Joseph Chu finished in 14th place. A total of ten 7th grade boys ran in this race.
The final race was the 7/8th grade girls race with 8 girls competing. Finishing in 6th place was 8th grader Emma Seevak. Again, all the kids ran well, and I am sorry I can't mention everyone.
