Placing second in County Championships October 10, 2009, Seaholm’s Girls Cross Country team is having a wonderful season.
With promising prospects freshmen Mallory, Audrey, and Tess Wilberding -- who all finished in the top 14 at the Oakland County Championships -- the cross country team has exceeded the expectations of their coach Jeffrey Devantier.
“This year we have a great team,” said Devantier. “This is the first year that I’ve had a team this close. They are a group of great girls.”
With four wins, including a meet against Groves, a West Bloomfield invite, an OAA Division 1 Jamboree, and a Mott invite under their belt, the cross country team is preparing to do well at the state meet with their top varsity runners. Contenders for these spots include Cross Country captains Alex Matthews and Maggie O’Reilly-Treter.
“Everybody on the team is really supportive and we all work hard together,” said Audrey Wilberding. “I think Alex Matthews is inspirational, she’s really good.”
“[Matthews] is a very valuable captain, runner, and teammate,” said Devantier. “She has battled through injuries and always finishes off her seasons well.”
