2011 XC Review
BOYS - STATE D3 RUNNERS-UP
ZINGSHEIM - STATE CHAMPION
FIVE COUGARS EARN ALL-STATE HONORS
The Cougar boys finished the season with their second consecutive State Runner-Up finish as they finished only 9 points behind Calvin Christian who finished in first last year as well. The boys State Meet effort was led by Zach Zingsheim who became the first Cougar XC runner to win a State Championship. Zach was joined on the all-state stand by freshman Keenan Rebera and seniors Jimmy Hicks and Joe Marrah. The All-State honor was the second for Hicks in his career.
The boys also repeated as regional champions and moved up to first in the CAAC White conference after six straight second place finishes.
The girls team had two State Meet qualifiers. Emma Frost came home in 7th place and earned all-state honors. Amy Hicks finished in 84th place.
The girls finished in 4th place at regionals and missed the state finals for only the 3rd time in 13 years. They did however finish in 4th place and missed States by only 4 points. It was a great effort by the girls in an extremely hard regional. The girls finished 2nd in the CAAC White conference.

Cougar Track - AWESOME in 2011
REGIONAL CHAMPIONS 2009, 20010, 2011
State Meet
The State Finals was a busy day as the Cougars were represented in 10 of the 17 boys events and 8 of the 17 girls events.
The highlight of the day came in the boys 800 meter relay as the team of Caporale, Zingsheim, Wilson and Macksood finished as State Champions. The boys also had two second place finishes in the 3200 meter relay and the 1600 meter relay. Zach Zingsheim also finished 5th in the 400. All of this added up to 30 points and placed the boys in 4th place overall. The 4X4 race was a thriller that saw Frankenmuth edge the the Cougars by a tenth of a second as the Cougars set yet another school record. The time for Lansing Catholic was the 6th fastest In the State Finals for all classes and the 3rd fastest ever run in D3. In that race Zach split a 48.8 and Connor ran a 49.9. In the past 11 years only three boys have run sub 50 splits for LCHS in the 4X4 (Matt Kirvan being the 3rd). Zach Zingsheim ended the day earning all-state in four events. In the 4X800 the foursome of Louis Savona, jimmy Hicks, Zach Zingsheim and Austin Winter finished 2nd – it was the second time the group had earned all-state.
The girls team highlights were a brilliant third place finish in the 400 relay for the team of Monica Lopez, Hannah Sailar, MaryAlice Fata and Jamie Holtham. Holtham capped off the race with an awesome leg moving the Cougars past about four teams in the final stretch. Megan Heeder finished 4th in the 3200 meter run, Emma Frost 8th in the 1600 and Hannah Sailar 7th in the pole vault – with all earning all-state honors and Sailar setting a new school record of 9’10”.
Without a doubt the most inspiring performance of the day came from Louis Savona. Louis had been out since the week of regionals and had not run in any of the big meets and in fact had not even been able to run due to a foot injury he suffered the week of regionals. The night before regionals he ran on it some and was still in pain and limping badly. The morning of the State Meet he was running a little better and it was determined literally minutes before the race that he would run lead-off leg in the 3200 meter relay. He actually led the race through the first lap and hung on through a painful last 100 meters and handed off having run a remarkable leg of 2:03. The Cougars surged to the lead and eventually finished second to Frankenmuth. It was a display of guts and toughness and desire to run in the big race that everyone from Lansing Catholic that was there understood and was amazed by. It is one thing to drag yourself on to the track after an injury that has kept you from running for over two weeks, but it is quite another to do it on the biggest stage in the biggest race of the season and then to do it that well. It was AWESOME!
Honor Roll
The Honor Roll meet was the day after the rescheduled league final and only three days before the State Meet so the Cougars, despite having numerous qualifiers for the Lansing Area All-Star meet, ran in only a limited number of races. Individually Emma Frost won the 1600 and Megan Heeder won the 3200 meter run and Austin Winter finished 2nd in the 1600. In the relays the Cougars ran only the premier event – the 1600 relay - for boys and girls. The girls team of Monica Lopez, Lena Minniti, MaryAlice Fata and Jamie Holtham ran their best time of the year and were second to only Fowler. Beating the likes of East Lansing and Everett and others. In the boys race the foursome of Connor Caporale, Matt Macksood, Aaron Wilson and Zach Zingsheim again broke the school record and finished only behind eventual D2 State Champion East Lansing. Also competing individually were Jimmy Hicks in the 800, Hannah Sailar in the pole vault and high jump and Erin Fields in the high jump.
The two efforts in the 4X4 once again proved that on the girls and boys side the Cougars are among the areas elite.
CAAC White Final
On the Tuesday following the MITCA meet and the long Memorial Day weekend the CAAC White division finally concluded its season. Of the six league meets on the schedule only one was contested on the day and place that the original schedule indicated. Every other meet was either postponed or moved to accommodate earlier postponements and even the league final meet included an hour rain delay. But after all the waiting the Cougars were ready when it came time to earn all–league honors. Both teams went into the final meet in 2nd place in the league with a 4-1 mark and when the meet was over both teams had finished 2nd and secured league runner-up status. The girls meet however did come down to the final race where the Cougars went in trailing Lakewood by 4 points. The Cougars ran away with the 4X4 and the Vikings came home in 4th to give the Cougars enough to finish 2nd in the meet and avoid a tie for league runner-up.
The boys team despite dominating the medal stand finished behind Williamston. Of the 17 events contested in the meet the Cougars remarkably won 9 of them leaving 8 for the other 5 teams to divide. The Cougar boys were winners in the 200, where Aaron Wilson set a school record of 22.64, the 300 hurdles (Caporale), the 400 (Zingsheim), the 800 (Hicks) and the 3200 (Winter) plus all four relays.
The girls team got winning efforts in the 4X4 relay and the 3200 meter run from Megan Heeder. Perhaps the best efforts came from Emma Frost and Megan Heeder in the 1600 where they went 2-3 both in times of 5:15. The breakout performance of the meet came from Erin Fields in the long jump. She followed up her 7th place finish at regionals by jumping a foot PR of 15-8 which sets her up nicely going into her sophomore year. Another great effort came from Emily Lemmer in the 300 hurdles. Just 1 year after going over her first hurdle she placed at regionals and earned all-league, again setting her up well for a strong 2012 season. Running her last meet for the Cougars was Hunter Puma who was one of only two seniors in the school to compete in a sport every season for four years. Her freshman year even included softball in addition to track. She consistently placed highly in the hurdles throughout her track career and was a varsity runner on some very good cross country teams – her consistency and toughness will be missed next year.
MITCA
After the thrilling regional meet the teams were scheduled to compete five days later in the league finals. That meet was postponed to the following Tuesday so after a week of rain and no meet the Cougars were finally back in action at the MITCA team meet.
The MITCA meet features 16 of the best full teams in the D3. Our runners were bit sluggish after the long layoff but still came up with some good efforts. Couars boys who finished in the top 10 were Aaron Wilson, third in the 200, Zach Zingsheim and Jimmy Hicks seventh and ninth in the 800, Austin Winter fifth in the 1600, Jimmy Hicks and Austin Winter fourth and sixth in the 3200, Connor Caporale fifth in the 300 hurdles, Dan Liesman third in the shot put and seventh in the discus. The boys as usual were strong in the relays winning the 4X2, 2nd in the 4X8 and third in the 4X1 and 4X4. Cougar girls in the top 10 were Jamie Holtham fifth in the 200, Emma Frost seventh in the 800 and third in the 1600, Megan Heeder second in the 3200 and fourth in the 1600, Hannah Sailar and Erin Fields tied for ninth in the high jump and Sailar ninth in the pole vault.
Regionals
Regionals as has become the custom turned out to be a great day/evening for LCHS track and field. The girls captured their third straight regional title and the boys finished 2nd and set three school records along the way.
Relays have become the staple of the LCHS program and their dominance was on display as the Cougar boys and girls won 7 of the 8 relays and qualified for states as well in the one they did not win. The boys set new school records in the 4X4 and the 4X2 as well as winning the 4X1 and 4X8. All four relays were running without their usual anchor legs as Louis Savona was out for the whole meet with a foot injury and Cedric Lee went out after the finals of the 100. On the girls side Monica Lopez led off all four relays and three of them were winners and the lone non-winner the 4X8 ran a season best. The night was capped off by the boys and girls teams both destroying the field in the 4X4.
Individual winners were Emma Frost in the 1600 and Megan Heeder in the 3200 for the girls, Dan Liesman in the shot put and Zach Zingsheim in the 400 in a school record time of 50.14. Other state meet qualifiers were Frost in the 3200, Heeder in the 1600, Jamie Holtham in the 200 and Hannah Sailar in the pole vault. Boys qualifiers were Aaron Wilson in the 200, Jimmy Hicks in the 800, Austin Winter in the 1600 and Connor Caporale in the 300 hurdles.
