Shane Streich won the SCC Cross Country title this past week as a 7th grader, Micci O'Grady did the same in 1984 as a 8th grader and the Coach is the same guy? 25 years ago the area was amazed at a young Waseca runner, many have the same feeling today! Good luck to all athletes this week, no matter the sport!
1984/ O'Grady becomes youngest-ever SCC champ
On a scale of one to 10, Mici O'Grady has been a 10.
O'Grady, Waseca's eighth-grade running wonder, won her 10th race without a loss on Thursday, becoming the youngest Wasecan ever to win the South Central Conference cross country championship [or any SCC conference title].
"Mici was certainly the heavy favorite going into the race," coach Gary Meurer said. "And she went out and showed everyone they were right."
O'Grady, running with a bothersome back on a hazy Fairmont Country Club course, battled early with runner-up Beth Hoffman of St. James before opening a big lead and winning going away. O'Grady clocked 11:30, Hoffman 11:48.
