Saint sweep

NASHUA — Last week, the grind of distance running got to St. Ansgar junior Riley Witt.

He missed two of the three meets the Saints competed in after strong showings the previous week, including an appearance at the Drake Relays.

“I got a bit of a stomach bug,” Witt said. “I wasn’t feeling my best. It was just a big week in preparation for Drake and then we had two other meets. I actually came back from Drake and ran again that night.

“Maybe I over-ran, over-raced a little bit. Just a little extra stress that weakened my immune system and then I wasn’t feeling good for three days — it’s a little discouraging because I’ve worked so hard. Bad timing, but it could be worse, I’m just thankful to God I was able to come out here and put up a fight.”

br

You wouldn’t know that he’d been ill looking at him. He looked in top form with the distance sweep (800, 1,600 and 3,200), among 14 total wins for the Saints in a boy-girls sweep in the Cowpath Relays.

br

The girls won four relays and four individual events while the boys won the 4×100 and took five individual golds, including three for Witt.

“Hopefully, I’ll be healthy for conference, district and state,” Witt said. “St. Ansgar is definitely the favorite along with Central Springs, but hopefully if we run our best, bring our ‘A’ game, we should come out with a win with confidence.”
