Runner of the Week
Brock Jones
     All Brock did today was cut a full minute off of his PR off pure base.  It was an awesome race to watch, and very impressive for this early.  Last May there were about 10 guys I would talk about having a chance to run Varsity this season, and Brock was always excluded from the conversation.  This summer he should log about 400 miles by the time school starts.  We all realized he'd have a great chance of making Varsity once the summer was underway, but no one could have predicted he'd lead the entire team.

Runner of the Week
Eric Chesson
     After running JV CC for three full seasons, Eric finally started working this past track season.  He broke 5 minutes for the mile, and lettered on his way to qualifying for regionals in the 3200.  This summer, Eric took it a step further as he lead his team in mileage, running almost 500 miles.  Eric ran more than three minutes faster than he did at this time last season, and is now only seconds away from his PR of 18:35.  Look for Eric to crush that time in his next 5K race two weeks from now, The Cardinal Classic.

Runners of the Week
Luke Hebert & Aaron Lejuene
     These two guys were borderline Varsity runners last year.  Anybody that was paying attention last track season would have guessed that they'd be about the same this year.  Well someone forgot to tell them that.  These two guys have shaken things up this year.  After losing 2 runners from last year's top five, some other schools probably thought this year would be their chance to beat BC.  Well thanks to the way these guys have stepped up, its hard to tell the other guys are gone.

Runner of the Week
Jose Chavez
     Freshmen Jose Chavez finished in the top five for the first time this season.  With a mile and a half to go, he was 7th on the team.  With a half mile, still seventh.  Then he started his kick and moved all the way up to the fifth spot on the team passing about 7 other runners on his way up.  The only freshman on the Varsity squad this year, Jose's got a great future ahead of him.

Runner of the Week
Tim Cude
     Senior MVP Tim Cude picks up his first individual win of the season with Trent Fulk from Nederland right on his heels until the last mile.  Hands down the leader of this team, Tim's first place finish sparked the guys on their way to our third consecutive Team Title.  Tim has finished fourth at regionals the past two seasons, and this year he's ready to move up a couple spots.  Next week we'll see Hudson and Huffman, and he'll get a glimpse of where he stands.

Runners of the Week
Lejuene, Hogan, and Hebert
     I really don't like picking several people when I pick the runner of the week, but this week there was no way to leave any of these three guys out.  We had only had one goal for today.  Beat Hudson.  We knew if we could do that, we have a great shot of making it to State.  Well the last mile was an awesome race b/w Hudson's 3, 4 and our 3, 4, 5.  Well our 3, 4, 5 came through Sat, and that's why we won.  It was an awesome weekend, but don't get satisfied because neither Huffman nor Hudson was full strength.  Both were missing guys, so we're going to have to keep improving if we expect to make it to State.

Runner of the Week
Matthew Wappler

     Watching the Varsity guys get warmed up for their race, I could tell they weren't really ready to race today.  It just didn't look like we had our game face on.  After beating Nederland by 14 at their meet, we almost got beat today.  Luckily for us, they were not at full strength, as they were missing a few runners.  In the 3A race, however, the JV guys stepped up and delivered a second win for BC.  I can't remember us ever winning both the big school and small school divisions at the same meet.  Leading the way for the JV guys was Matthew Wappler.  Matthew ran the race of his life, as he was only 20 seconds behind the fifth man on Varsity.  Matthew's performance was good enough for me to make room for one JV runner on our trip to McNeil next weekend.

Runner of the Week
Kirby Shepherd & Tim Cude
     Kirby steps up to lead his team while Tim Cude gets seconds away from a PR competing in the 4A/5A division.  Kirby ran an amazing race as he was able to PR by 20 seconds on one of the toughest courses we run on.  Nobody could have predicted how well he would run today.  Kirby's finish helped spark us to an eight place finish out of 38 teams.  Tim arrived late to the starting line, and had to start behind 396 runners!  So much for getting out, he had to work to move up as far as he did.  If you add Tim to the race, we place third.  Only 45 points behind division winner Sanger.  We did very well today, and we are starting to look like the Region III favorites.  But Hudson and Huffman will be ready for us on Nov 7, so we had better keep working.  If all goes well, we'll get another shot at Sanger at the State Meet.

Runner of the Week
Luke Hebert
     Over the years BC has had pretty good success in CC, but for various reasons we've never competed at Nike South.  With a change in date, this year we finally got the chance.  The guys were really fired up to go run some fast times.  But then it rained.  And rained.  And next thing you know the course was covered in mud.  Pretty much every Varsity guy in the program ran about 1 minute slower than last week.  But Hebert was only 30 seconds away from his PR on a day when most runners don't even come close.  Today Luke placed third on the team, his highest team place of the season.  So far this season, four different runners have been third man on the team.  That depth is what is going to carry us far this season.

The Long Red Line
     District Title Number Ten (9 out of the last 10) For The Cardinals.  Today was a great effort by our guys.  Our goal was to place all seven girls in the top 10, and bring home both the team and invidual titles.

2nd behind Hudson by 18 points

     This was probably the closest race I've ever seen.  If our 3, 4, and 5 run 7 seconds faster, we barely win the regional title.  But, if they run about 10 seconds slower, we finish fourth.  We definitely felt like the title should have been ours, but we still did great and have advanced to state once again.  Hopefully, we will be motivated to do even better next season.

Runner of the Week
Adrian Cude
     Adrian has been logging the miles to improve her standing on the team.  He has been in the top 3 girls for mileage all summer long, and she is seeing the benefits of her hard work.  Last year in our first dual meet, she placed 10th out of 11 BC girls.  This year she finished 6th while running almost FOUR MINUTES faster than she did this time last year.  Because of her dedication this summer, she has a great chance of making the Varsity squad.

Runner of the Week
Bree Fontenot
     Bree is coming off a breakout track season, where she finished higher than any other Lady Cardinal at Regionals, placing 7th with a 62.  Bree then decided to come out for CC with a little encouragement from her friends.  Knowing how it'll help her this Spring, she has been logging the miles all summer.  Last week Bree finished in the top five, and Coach Knight didn't see her to get her time.  Well this week she did even better than last week, as she beat one of the top 3 and finished right behind another one.  Bree showed us all Monday, that she's not just out here to get better for track.  She wants to earn a top spot on the Varsity CC team as well.

Mary and Meagan

     Mary and Meagan each ran a solid race as they placed third behind two good teams in Huffman and Barbers Hill.  Mary and Meagan have each been working hard during the summer months.  They were both ready to race, as they lead the Lady Cardinals to a first place finish in the 3A/under division.  Each of them are coming off great track seasons where they both ran in the 12:30s and in the 5:40s.  They have set a goal of lowering those two mile times to 12:15, and there is no doubt in my mind that they can do it.

Runner of the Week
Ariel Chesson

     Today was the day the Lady Cardinals faced the girls from St. Thomas Aquinas.  They have easily the best individual girl we've raced in a long time.  But instead of being intimidated, the Lady Cardinals went to work.  They were defininitely the better team, but we gave them a battle.  We lost by 11 points, but put our #8 in front of their fifth.  Ariel gets the runner of the week as she lowers her time for the third straight week.  She is one of only two seniors in our program that have ran Varsity all four years of HS.  She is working very hard to make sure her last CC race of her HS career is at the State Meet.

Runner of the Week
Courtney Meaux
     After opening up the season placing eighth at the Tri Meet, Courtney wanted really badly to make Varsity.  Well after placing fifth on the team for the second straight week, I'd say she has a really good chance of keeping a spot on Varsity.  The only freshmen on the Varsity for the girls, Courtney has been working hard to get that letter jacket.  She knows we need our fifth girl to run a 12:59 for us to make it to state, and she's working to try and kae that happen.

Meagan Shockley


     Meagan finished first on the team for the first time this season as she set a new CC PR of 12:44.  This was Meagan's first time to dip below 13 minutes this season.  We set a team goal of having 3 girls at 12:15, and Meagan is now less than 30 seconds away from that goal.  All of the girls are having a great season, and I can't wait until regionals to see how we do.

Runner of the Week
Alex Holland
     This year's Pleasure Island meet should have been the chance for a local team to upset the Lady Cardinals.  With Mary and Ariel out with the flu, we were missing two of our top four runners.  But the girls were motivated to run well, and they all stepped up as Alex Holland got her highest team place of the year.  She placed third on a very tough course that many of our runners dread running on.  Alex's perforance helped the girls win the meet by 40 points.

Mary and Jessica
     Mary and Jess each ran a great race as they broke 13 minutes on one of the hardest courses we run on.  With Mary leading the way, Jess ran 15 seconds faster than she has all year on a very tough course.  Each one of these girls is now less than 40 seconds away from their goal time of 12:15.  They each ran almost 30 seconds faster than they did last year on this tough course.  If they and the rest of the girls continue to work, we'll bring the girls to state for the first time in several years.

Runner of the Week
Ariel Chesson
     All of the girls ran great this week as they were narrowly defeated by Barbers Hill.  After beating them at Nederland, Hurricane Ike really took a toll on our training.  We faced them at McNiel and they killed us.  Coming into the last 300 meters I told Ariel, Faith, and Meagan they had to win their pack for us to have a chance of beating Barbers Hill.  Ariel took off, and Faith and Meagan went with her.  With Ariel leading the way, they all finished in front of their pack.  We ended up losing by 1 point, but it still a great performance.
