The Notre Dame Boys Cross Country Team made school history on Saturday after becoming the first Notre Dame athletic team to win 4 consecutive Section V titles. Senior Kevin Pawlak has been a part of each of those victories, and led the team with his 3rd place finish in the Class D meet. Sophomore Andrew Fischer was right behind in 4th and Senior Nate Flumerfeldt 5th. Junior Nick Flumerfeldt placed 15th and Sophomore Matt Sausner stepped up big to place 29th to round out the scoring. Senior Jason Harasimowicz and Junior Tyler Pingrey also put up solid performances for the Irish. The boys beat runner-up Arkport by 19 points. Along with the team championship, KP, Fish, and Nate received individual patches for finishing in the top ten. In the merged D/DD results, the Irish placed third and fell short in their quest to return to the state championship meet in Plattsburgh.
The Girls Team also had great performances as Sophomore Meghan Zickl and Senior Rachel Berggren finished in the top ten, taking 9th and 10th respectively to earn individual patches. Eighth grader Bailee Welker placed 12th, Junior Kristen Antolos 15th, and Jumior Sydney Moag 54th to round out the team scoring. The team placed 3rd in the Class D meet which was won by Arkport.
Congratulations to all runners on an excellent season!
