It was a dominating day for Perry at Saturday’s Chagrin Valley Conference cross country meet at Perry Outdoor YMCA as the Pirates won easily in both the boys and girls division of the CVC Chagrin Division competition.

The Perry boys outdistanced runner-up Kenston, 20-59, as they claimed the first three places and had all five scorers in the top nine finishers. The Pirate girls, meanwhile, defeated second-place Chagrin Falls, 22-59, as they had the top two finishers and all five of their scorers in the top nine.

Coach Bill Sarvis had to be particularly pleased with the boys results as senior Dan Jackisch, a Division II state meet placer last year who has battled injury and illness ever since, won in 16:23. That brought him in ahead of teammate Dean Light, who finished in 16:43, and Tom Jordan, who was third in 17:02. Adam Rosenbaum was fifth for Perry in 17:16 and Zach Hurlimann was ninth in 17:31.

For the Pirate girls, sophomore Abbie Clifford, another state veteran was in total command, finishing in 18:41. Rachel Greuber was second for Perry in 19:55, while Marissa Baranauskas was fifth in 20:27, Meredith Schuette was sixth in 20:33 and Carrie Jones rounded out the scoring in ninth in 20:59.

“I was really pleased with the boys and the girls,” Sarvis said. “I’m especially excited about Dan after a big race from Dean last week and on a day as hot as it was today. I think that helps out our team a lot.”

Berkshire won the Valley Division girls championship, led by individual champion Alex Bowers, who won in 19:39. The Badgers had 32 points to 60 for Kirtland.

Grand Valley could not field a full team, but had four girls in the Valley Division race. Siera Holley led the Mustangs in 16th place in 22:36. Katherine Carlson was 27th in 23:55, Melissa Prax was 36th in 25:05 and Lauren Prax was 38th in 25:13.

Grand Valley only had two boys in the Valley Division race. Austin Drenski was 24th in 19:07, while Adam Byler was 51st in 22:26.
