D-II East Region Championships 11/4

[frojoe23]

Tomorrow is the NCAA Division II Regional Championships. There are a few local runners that will be running in the East Region Championships at Slippery Rock University about an hour north of Pittsburgh. On the girls side is Amanda Griffith of West Virginia Wesleyan (formerly of Fort Hill). She won the WVIAC conference meet two weeks ago and has a serious shot of qualifying for the National Championships. On the men's side is Woody Snoberger of West Virginia Wesleyan (formerly of Frankfort) and Scott Bonnette of Wheeling Jesuit (formerly of Beall). Woody was 4th at the WVIAC conference meet while Scott finished 10th. Both earned all-conference honors.

The meet is a 10k for the men and a 6k for the women. The West Virginia Wesleyan men's team is ranked very high in the region and may be fighting for a spot to go to nationals. Good Luck!!! Results can probably be found at www.wvrunners.com or www.runhigh.com

Glad to see that Woody had a good race again. I think he is coming on very strong and looks like he will have a great outdoor season in the spring. Thought that Scott ran a solid race in his first 10k. He was 10th at WVIAC's and ended up being the 11th conference finisher at regions. Great job guys!!!

Unfortunately, I didn't see Amanda Griffith's name in the results for the women's race. Looks like she must have dropped out as WV Wesleyan only had 6 girls finish the race. Emily Derosa had a pretty good race for Wheeling Jesuit as well. Congratulations all on a very good season!

ok so i ran, i thought, a very terrible race. Late season was not very kind to me. I felt tired and heavy in every race .... i dunno if it was becuase my legs were just tired from all the training or i just blew up. For the race... first mile was 530 around 30th place.... and ended up at 61th.
I just hope i have a much more successful track season

I thought that you had a very good season. Yes, you did tail off a little at the end, but you still have a lot to build off of through the winter and into the spring.
