Duke Roach (above) and JP Ryan led Ireton men to a second place finish in cross country relays at Episcopal
Coach Brad Byrnes took his boys and girls cross country teams up Quaker Lane for a relay carnival of sorts at Episcopal and returned with some fast times and trophies to prove it.
The boys ran a two-man relay over a 6-mile course, each runner covering 3 miles, with fastest times qualifying their teams for an overall win. It was the closest of races, with Episcopal, Georgetown Prep, and Bishop Ireton deadlocked with 16 points each. Maret finished with 35 total points, but the win went to the Little Hoyas with the first overall finishers. Ireton was second, and Episcopal third.
Duke Roach and JP Ryan led the Cardinals across the finish line in an unreported time, just behind Greg Monroe and Greg McGowan of EHS in a time of 33:25. Ireton’s Joe Simko and Micahel Logrande were the Cardinals’ second fastest finishers, in a time of34:41. Steve Gottlieb and Gio Hernandez were 10th in a time of 37:02. Patrick Coyen and Thomas Ward snared a 14th place in a time of 38:23. The final Ireton scorers were Pablo Donros and Matt Gottlieb in 42:59.
The girls garnered a second place in a five team field. Georgetown Visitation won the event with 6 points, Ireton had 20, Episcopal close behind 21, Washington Latin was 4th with 35, and Holton Arms 5th with 38.
