10/17/09 - Cross Country at Metro Suburban Conference Championship

In Saturday’s Metro Suburban Conference Championships the Timothy teams ran very well.  Leading the boy’s team to a 5th place finish and earning all-conference honors was senior Jeff VanderKamp.  Jeff covered the 3 mile course in a very impressive time of 16:50 and showed huge heart by passing 5 runners in the last mile and 2 in the last 100 meters to finish 10th and earn all-conference recognition (top 11) for the second consecutive season.  Sophomores Ryan DeGroot (20th in 17:19), Chris Ridolphi (26th in 17:42), Alex Sweatman (29th in 17:51) and junior Chris Biesboer (28th in 17:49) also ran exceptional races.

Junior Kate Ardinger (1st in 19:12) led Timothy to a 3rd place finish by winning the girls race in a scintillating 3 mile dual with RB’s top runner.  The two top conference runners ran neck and neck over the entire course and Kate’s heart and desire won out as Kate out-fought her in the final 200 meters to win by 2 seconds.  Joining Kate on the all conference team was sophomore Michelle Ditchfield who battled a pack of 6 runners to finish 7th in a time of 20:01.  Completing the Trojans outstanding team effort were juniors Shelly Cler (18th in 21:19) and Julie Schram (23rd in 21:57) and sophomores Tessa Bosman (20th in 21:30) and Elena Denny (24th in 22:13). 

9/21/09 -  Cross Country Update 

Both men’s and women’s cross country teams have run very well this fall.  The men’s team is led by senior Jeff VanderKamp.  The men’s team has exceptional depth this year with sophomore Ryan DeGroot and juniors Chris Biesboer and Justin Loerop all running within 30 seconds of Jeff.  Sophomores Alex Sweatman, Chris Ridolphi, Aaron Snoeyink, and freshman Clarke Doig have done a great job of working to stay within 30 seconds of our first pack.  Our women’s team is not as deep as the men’s but have been led by exceptional junior newcomer Kate Ardinger.   Newcomers Shelly Cler and Michelle Ditchfield have added significantly to complement returners Tessa Bosman, Elena Denny, Julie Schram, and Keelah Freeman.

At the MSC Pre Conference meet at Elmwood Park last Tuesday (September 15) both teams ran very well and finished 3rd out of the 6 teams in our conference.  Kate Ardinger won the girls race with a time of 20:02 for the 3 mile course.  Following Kate for the Trojans were Michelle Ditchfield (12th place in 21:21), Tessa Bosman (13th place in 21:24), Elena Denny (22nd in 23:12) and Kelah Freeman (29th in 23:35).  In the boys race Jeff VanderKamp finished 4th overall in a time of 17:23.  Chris Biesboer was 11th in 17:40, Ryan DeGroot 15th in 17:55, Justin Loerop 19th in18:09, Aaron Snoeyink 29th in18:38, Alex Sweatman 31st in 18:44, and Clarke Doig 33rd in 18:51.
