Burwell notes from Coach K - way to go Knights! Top Lady Knight was Angela Frick. I knew Angela had put in the miles this summer as she had been practicing strong these past three weeks but being a freshman, I wasn’t sure of where she would finish in her first high school meet. She kept her second place position throughout the race- which revealed a very competitive and determined young athlete. Junior Keira Taylor also had a great race on Thursday. She had a 4th place finish and looked very poised throughout the race. Keira looks stronger and more confident than I’ve ever seen -I’m excited to see how she performs this season. Top Knight was Raden Orton. Orton had another 1st place finish at Burwell for his second consecutive year. It was a tighter race for the first minutes- but then Raden pulled away from the group and set the pace. Junior Mason Hagan had a good 4th place finish and I’m confident he will continue to improve as the season goes on. Freshmen Andrew Rowan and Carter Buell also ran their first high school meets at Burwell. Jumping up to the high school distances from junior high is always a little overwhelming for some athletes. But I see Rowan and Buell as smart, dedicated runners who will make a lot of progress this season. Burwell allowed us to see right away the competition of fellow NVC Conference school-West Holt. It is always good to know our toughest competition early on so we can set goals for the upcoming season. Thanks, Jane Klemesrud
