Sawall leads Trucker Thinclads at New London Invite

Clintonville Junior Tyler Sawall turned in his best performance of the season in New London on Sept. 18.

Sawall led all other area runners in the boys 5,000 meter race, crossing the line in 17:12 to finish sixth overall. Tony Cass of Hortonville was one second behind in 17:13 while New London’s lead runner, Michael Heise finished 10th in 17:32.

Clintonville’s second runner, Xavier Fletcher also turned in a season best, finishing 13th in 18:08. Kyle Wied (18:46, 31st), Jake DeCleene (18:56, 36th), and Garrett Cunningham (22:23, 75th) also ran well for Clintonville.

“Tyler was in the lead pack and Xavier was in the chase pack, right where they should be. They both ran a demanding interval workout two days before the race, so I am pleased with their performances,” noted Coach Jeff Crumbaugh.

The Lady Truckers were led once again by Samantha Hohn who finished seventh overall in 16:31. Macy Eagan (4th, 16:20) and Annalise Schroeder (5th, 16:21) of New London were the area’s top runners in the girls’ race.

“Ana had a breakthrough race, improving her time by a minute and a half. She is responding to our training program well. Samantha continues to run well and is developing confidence as a lead pack runner,” said Crumbaugh.
