Nick
Kazmer
Despite racing in the worst conditions of the day, Nick finished 4th for Brookwood in the 11th and 12th grade race at Wendy's. He finished strong around the lake to finish right on the heels of his teammate, passing his competitors along the way right into the finish chute.

Michael
Sexton
Michael
achieved a personal best of 16:14, leading our short-handed varsity team
to a 4th place finish at the Wendy's Invitational. Michael started strong
and continued to gain positions in the second half of the race. His
finishing kick earned him 6th place overall in the invitational division.

Robby Ryan

At the Peachtree
Ridge Invitational, Robby finished 2nd for Brookwood, earning a medal in
the varsity race with a time of 17:18. Despite a hard early pace, Robby
fought to help lead his team to a 3rd place finish. While he struggled a
bit early season, it appears as if Robby is back on track!

Daniel
babin

In the Junior
Varsity race at the Peachtree Ridge Invitational, Daniel, a senior, broke
through with a PR while finishing 15th overall, 3rd for Brookwood. With
his contribution, we took 3rd overall in that race. Daniel's PR is nearly
2:00 faster than his 2006 best!

Tommy
George

Tommy continued to
improve, even on the challenging course at Maymont Park, at the Maymont XC
Festival in Richmond, VA. Tommy not only led our "B" team to a
10th place finish in the prestigious Gold Division, but he also set a new
PR of 17:11 while finishing 17th overall!
9/22/07
Justin
Whitaker

At the Marist
Clash Clash, Justin was our 4th overall finisher in the varsity race. His
strength back on the hills in the 2nd mile was the reason for his
breakthrough performance! With this run, Justin earned a spot on the team
traveling to Wendy's on October 6th!
9/15/07
Tyler
Anyan

Tyler had a strong
push in the last .1 in the varsity race to finish 2nd for Brookwood, as he
passed Grayson's Eric Nawyn to finish 7th overall.
He was the meet's top
finishing sophomore, and his success is a direct result of all the hard
work he put in over the summer.
His PR last year was just under 19:00,
meaning he's improved more than 2 minutes! Those summer miles are
certainly paying off!
9/15/07
Evan
Goodwin
Evan had an outstanding kick
in the last 300m of the open race at county to finish 2nd overall,
leading our Broncos to a strong 2nd place showing. A senior, his run
also set a PR of 17:29, 30 seconds faster
than his fastest time of 2006!
9/15/07
Zack
Robinson

Zack's 2nd place finish in the
9th-10th grade race gave the team a boost to help us win our only 1st
place trophy of the day.
In the last 400m of the race, he blew past a Mill
Creek runner to finish close behind fellow-Bronco Tommy George,
with an
outstanding PR of 17:26.
9/8/07
Zac
Brooks

In the Championship JV race
at Carrollton, freshman-sensation Zac Brooks annihilated the field in the 2nd half of the
race.
He followed the race plan perfectly from the start, sitting
behind the leaders, but pulled away to win easily, 150m ahead of 2nd
place.
