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!
So come support the runners!!!!
