Homer cross-country squads sweep team titles

The sport of cross-country running is often a numbers game when it comes to team battles, so Saturday’s boys-girls championship sweep by the Homer Mariners in the Class 1-2-3A division was one to cherish.

For a town of just over 5,000 having to battle Anchorage schools like Grace and Anchorage Christian, the occasion marked the pinnacle of success for the Homer running program.

The girls won their third straight state title, matching the school’s precedent of three straight from 1988 to 1990, but for the Mariners boys, the sweet taste of victory was new.

“They saw the girls winning the past two years and they wanted to win,” said Homer coach Bill Steyer, the architect of the system. “To win both is pretty epic, it’s pretty phenomenal.”

While the Mariners were the only peninsula school to finish atop the podium, several other contingents ran strong.

In the 4A girls race, Kenai Central fell short of defending their team championship with a second-place finish, getting a best finish of fourth from sophomore Jaycie Calvert. Juneau freshman Sadie Tuckwood won the 4A girls race.

In the 4A boys race, Service speedster Gus Schumacher crushed the field en route to his first state title, winning with a hot time of 15 minutes, 44 seconds, over five kilometers. Soldotna’s Josh Shuler was the top local finisher in 34th and Kenai’s Braden Olsen was 45th.

In the 1-2-3A girls race, Glennallen senior Briahna Gerlach capped her prep career with a fourth straight individual title, becoming just the third runner in state history to accomplish the feat, along with Kodiak’s Kristy Klinnert (1983-86) and Seward’s Emily Ransom (1990-93).

The 1-2-3A boys race victory went to Galena’s Jacob Moos, his first state crown, while Seward senior Hunter Kratz saw his dream of winning vanish with a runner-up finish.

HOMER SWEEPS TEAM TITLES

The Mariners girls placed three runners in the top 10 and all seven varsity members in the top 18 to complete the three-peat on Saturday.

Leading the Mariners charge in the 1-2-3A girls race was senior Megan Pitzman, who has been a part of the Homer program for all four years. Pitzman finished second in 19:16, a full 32 seconds behind race winner Gerlach.

“It’s a good end to my career,” Pitzman said in the finishing area. Pitzman’s personal best of 18:58 came on the same course in 2014.

Every year, Pitzman has been faced with the task of taking down Gerlach, but the super runner from Glennallen has managed to stymie the field every year at state.

“(Gerlach) is really strong, I think she takes pain really well,” Pitzman said.

The Homer girls won with 33 points to Grace Christian’s 52, a battle that coach Steyer was expecting to play out.

“We lost two seniors last year, so we knew it was going to be tough,” Steyer said. “We beat them pretty well last week at regions, but we still were watching them.”

Freshman Autumn Daigle was the second Homer runner across the line in sixth place, running a time of 19:52. In her debut season with the Mariners, Daigle said the exploits of the running team are not secret around town.

“Yeah, I knew about them,” Daigle said, eyeing her teammates. “It’s big for Homer, and it’s a great opportunity for me.”

The team’s biggest opposition once again took the form of Grace Christian, a perennial cross-country powerhouse. Daigle said her strategy was to stay with the Grizzlies’ top runner, Grace Gannon, who ended up fifth and 13 seconds ahead of Daigle.

“I was trying to stay with them as long as I could,” Daigle said.

Homer’s third runner across the line was senior Lauren Evarts in 10th, who was followed by Katie Davis in 12th, Alex Moseley in 15th, senior Audrey Rosencrans in 17th and senior Haley Knott in 18th.

Ruby Lindquist led the Seward girls by finishing third with a time of 19:24.

The boys squad took the team title with 45 points, placing four runners in the top 12 to topple the team that got the better of them last year, Sitka. The Wolves had 63 points.

Leading the charge was Jacob Davis in sixth with at time of 16:44. Behind him, Homer placed runners in eighth (Luciano Fasulo), 11th (Jordan Beachy), 12th (Jared Brant), 17th (Charlie Menke), 26th (Bill Rich) and 34th (Denver Waclawski).

“We set a goal to have four guys under 17 (minutes),” Steyer said. Brant finished in 17:06 as the team’s fourth runner.

“We got two under, and it was enough to win.”

So what has changed Homer into a cross-country powerhouse?

Part of the equation has been training athletes to get the most out of training. Every summer for several years, Steyer has encouraged his squad to compete in a high-altitude running camp on the West Coast, not necessarily as a way to build lung capacity, but to get his athletes to approach competition more efficiently.

“Being a good runner is not rocket science,” he said. “It’s about doing your homework and putting in the work every day.”

KENAI GIRLS FINISH 2ND

Entering the weekend as the defending state team champions, the Kardinals girls squad had their eyes on a daunting West Valley Wolfpack.

Led by the 2-3 finish by freshmen Kendall Kramer and Maggie Druckenmiller, West Valley cruised to an easy championship. Kramer finished second in a speedy 18:29, just 13 seconds behind individual champ Sadie Tuckwood of Juneau, also a freshman.

Combined with Druckenmiller in third, freshmen swept the top three spots, an astonishing result. Tuckwood won the race with a time of 18:16, earning the state crown in her first attempt. Because of Juneau’s semi-isolation from the rest of Alaska, Tuckwood’s appearance was a bit of a wild card, but the 14-year-old made her presence known early. Tuckwood took the early lead with Kramer and West Anchorage senior Molly Gellert in tow, then pulled away in the final two kilometers to win.

Gellert would fail to defend her 2015 individual title, struggling late in the race and falling to the ground in exhaustion at one point to cross the line 26th with a time of 19:58. Last year, Gellert ran a minute faster in 18:57.

Kenai sophomore Jaycie Calvert led the Kards with a fourth-place effort, being nipped at the line in a photo finish by Druckenmiller, with a time of 19:10.

Junior Riana Boonstra, who finished second last year, ended up sixth at the finish in 19:22, and Brooke Satathite improved from a 53rd-place finish last year to 14th this year, running 19:43.

“They ran a smart race, and on a day like today, it was the right choice,” said Kenai head coach Maria Calvert. “We definitely ran more conservative.”

With Tuckwood and Kramer setting a fierce pace, the lead would not be the place to be Saturday. Jaycie Calvert said the Kardinals discovered Tuckwood’s dominance earlier in the season and had followed her race times online, and thus the race strategy was to not chase the lead but rather build up speed into a fast finish.

“We kept working to move ahead in the pack,” Calvert said.

As the field streamed through the stadium at the 2K mark, Boonstra was the top Kenai girl, leading a big pack for sixth place, while Calvert and Satathite were jostling for 10th.

By the end, Calvert had charged up to third, only to lose out to Druckenmiller by a nose.

It resulted in a second-place effort, as Kenai finished with 72 points, behind the 48 of West Valley, and ahead of the 109 from Service.

Boonstra said the strategy to beat the teams the Kards knew they could beat worked well.

“We’ve run against those teams all season, so we just had to work together,” she said.

For Satathite, the gain of 39 spots from one year to the next was a massive boost to the team score, and one she attributed to her training partners.

“I felt like the new one at cross-country, but I don’t think I knew my potential,” Satathite said.

KRATZ FINISHES 2ND

Seward senior Hunter Kratz was targeting an individual state crown Saturday, but Jacob Moos of Galena got in the way.

Kratz nearly ran a personal best, settling for second with a time of 15:57, just three seconds off his PR from last week, and two seconds behind Moos.

In the last three years, Kratz has two runner-up finishes and a third place at state.

“For the past two years, it was win state or bust,” Kratz said. “I just wanted to come out happy with the result.”

In the early stages, Kratz hung back from the leaders in a pack of runners, then made his move as the field worked its way to the halfway point. At the 2K mark, the Seward runner was third.

In the finishing chute, Kratz put in a full sprint in a last-ditch attempt to catch Moos, but time simply ran out.

“I had nothing at the end,” he said. “(Moos) deserves it.”

It was the second straight year that Kratz finished second to a Galena runner. In 2015, he ended up 10 seconds behind 1-2-3A champ Kaleb Korta.

Embraced in a sea of hugs from teammates, coaches and friends in the finishing area, Kratz he has no regrets with the race.

“These guys are like brothers,” he said about his teammates. “I’m proud of them. This’ll be the last race with them, and they deserve to be here.”
