Cross country teams in Region XII have to wait another year to try to de-throne the LCC men’s and women’s teams from the regional title.
No team came close to challenging either team Oct. 26 at the NJCAA Re-gion XII Meet at Grand Woods Park in Lansing. The LCC men won hand-ily by 32 points and the women won by 34 points.
LCC freshman Grant Webber was the first fin-isher for LCC in the men’s race, placing fifth out of 66 runners with a time of 26:15. Second across the line for LCC was sopho-more Chris Gantt in sev-enth place with a time of 26:21.
The women’s team had an even more impressive performance with LCC freshman Alison Dible finishing second overall out of 66 with a time of 19:16. Sophomore Viviana Alamillo finished seventh overall in 19:31.
“I was really, really hap-py,” said LCC Head Coach
Chuck Block. “The other teams in the region ran well. It’s getting harder and harder but we still win.”
As has been the story for the majority of the 2013 season, both LCC teams used their depth and talent to keep their title streaks alive.
“On the guy’s side, we didn’t get the performanc-es up front that we thought we would get,” Block said. “But we got the perfor-mance from our depth.”
Following the regional, Block selected his top run-ners for the NJCAA Na-tional Championship Nov. 9 in Fort Dodge, Iowa.
After the final rankings were selected Nov .5, Block said his teams would be traveling with a chip on their shoulders. The men were ranked ninth and the women were fifth heading into the nationals.
“I think we are a whole lot better than that, I really do,” Block said prior to the meet. “I think we are going to surprise a lot of people, especially the guys.”
LCC sophomore Joe Marrah shared his coach’s high ambitions, explaining
he wants to finish 2013 on a successful note.
“I am looking to finish All-American, I believe that’s top 25,” Marrah said. “It has been a goal since the summer and I want to go out there and achieve
it. Hopefully Chris (Gantt) will do it with me.”
The national meet was the last race for some of Block’s runners; it would be special to be able to leave a mark on a national stage to prove they have
reached the top.“I am excited, I really
think this team is ready,” said Block. “They have been training hard, they have a great attitude.”
Block said he had every bit of confidence in his run-
ners heading to Iowa.“This year I’m going
in thinking, ‘Hey we are ready and we can do it,’” he said.
Results of the meet will be available in the Nov. 25 issue of The Lookout.
