Preview: This weekend\'s Episcopal Round Table Run

 

 

 

 

 

Baton Rouge: In it’s 34th running of the meet the Episcopal Round Table run promises to be an exciting one.  Attracting 40 + teams from various parts of Louisiana and drawing some of the best runners the state has to offer.  Without a doubt this meet should yield some quick times as teams travel to Highland Road Park this Saturday. Some will not be racing simply against competitors but against history as the women’s course record looks to be very much in danger.  This venue has a rich history of fast runners including such names as Robbie Leblanc, Daniel Presedo, Brandon Nicholson, Lindsay Daigle, Gabrielle Lee, and Laura Blessy. 

 

 

 

Please come out and support your fellow runners and experience history in the making in the women’s race as St. Thomas Acquinas’ sophomore Malia Calia in just her second year running tears through the course in a race against herself and the record books. Other notables to look out for are:

 

 

Morgan Passman Mt. Carmel

Abby Terhaar Episcopal

Emily Mcafee St. Thomas

Amy Deeble Fontainebleau

Emily Tixier ASH NO

Laura Keyes Fontainbleau

Joran Beccerra STA

Meggie Schmidt ASH NO

Cierra Johnston Redemptorist

Lucie Pyle ESA

 

In the women’s team race look out for top ranked teams of Mt. Carmel, St. Thomas Acquinas, St. Joseph’s and Episcopal.

 

The men’s Individual race looks to be an exciting one as well, although an assault on the record  books may not come into play, the race up top looks to be a close one as Baton Rouge’s Phil Goettert, Fontainebleau’s Jeff Sanders, and Catholic’s Mark Primeaux will likely battle for the lead.  With the pack of the following not too far behind (if at all):

 

Neal Fisher Fontainbleau

Ryan Darling Duhnam

Andrew Abbott Dehnam Springs

Matt Pieri Brother Martin

Christopher Karkins Brother Martin

Kenneth Shiffman Brother Martin

Zack Harris Fontainebleau

Alden Healphy St. Thomas More

Corey Williams St. Michael

Marc Dotson Menard

 

In the team race top ranked Brother Martin and Catholic are expected to fight for the title but don’t count out St. Michael’s or Fontainebleau!
