If there was no Century

[chsrunner2007]

This could be done for WM as well, but I'm not from there, so......

Recently some strong county runners would make Liberty and South Carroll very strong.

Pat Wachter-SC
Jeff Hohl-SC
Jared and Sean Hughes-SC
That's the whole 4x8 state title team
Zamostny, Wachter, Hohl, Bosse could have been sub 8:15

Danny Bosse-SC 4:30's miler and 2:02 split

Theron Johnson-Liberty

Brent Dawson- Liberty (with a team of Liberatore, Dawson, Hruch and Dorsey? mid 7:50s 4x8 potential)

Colin Haser- Liberty I believe, could have added to those strong XC state title teams

Avior Zynda- SC very good xc runner

Nick Pezza- SC 4:51 Freshman Mile so far

I think everyone on this list is very happy they ended up at Century, it is just cool to look at how different the county would be by taking away one school

I would've been at SC...but I wouldn't have minded being on those Liberty state title teams :-D

I agree that I was happy to go to Century and help get the program going.

For that Liberty 4x8 - I think you meant Ridder not Dorsey. That would be some 4x8, here are the numbers:

Hruch - split 1:53.9 at states in 4x8
Ridder - best 1:59
Liberatore - best 1:59
Dawson - best was 1:57 right?

7:49! Not too bad

But just know, it would have been even a challenge for Dawson to make that 4x8 state champion team from indoors in 2006. The fourth member of that 4x8 was Andrew Cross, who as a freshman was running 4:40 and 2:05. I believe that year you (Dawson) was running 2:06 in the open 800, so it would have been interesting. But even if you ran on that team, you would never have run any faster a time (as a team). They never lost in 2006 (indoors or outdoors) and only got challenged twice (the first meet indoors when Eric got hurt on the warmup and we had two subs in, Nick ran his first sub 2 time coming from about 70 meters from behind to win it, and at states when he ran a 1:53.9 to come from behind to win). the indoor team at states led from the gun, and nobody ran a PR as we won by 15 seconds.

The same could be done for the girls too. At XC counties this year, the top 7 runners came from Century, Liberty and SC and 11 of the top 13!! During Indoor track, the top 9 finishers in the 3200 were from those 3 schools and 3 of the top 4 4x8 teams (they scored 82 points in distance events). They also finished 2nd, 3rd and 4th in the overall standings. You split up the Century girls to Liberty and SC, and it might have made the indoor county championship much closer.

1:56.29, but who's counting? haha

Colin, you really would have been SC? I think I knew that, but you live closer to Liberty right?

I think I live pretty much right in the middle, but my brother went to SC before Century opened.
