Exciting Achievement in Mitchell: Londyn Schroder Shatters School Record!

Mitchell, a vibrant city known for its enthusiasm in supportive local sports, is buzzing with excitement after one of its rising stars—the talented junior cross country runner Londyn Schroder—claimed a new school record at the recent Augustana Twilight Meet held in Sioux Falls. On September 5th, despite the competition being tough, Londyn rocked the race by finishing with an impressive time of 19 minutes, 2.8 seconds.

Breaking Boundaries

This remarkable achievement didn’t just break the previous record, but it smashed it by more than 30 seconds. The old record of 19:33.9 was set by Kennedy Olsen back in 2018, and now it has become a thing of the past. During the race, Londyn focused intently on her pace and performance, unaware of just how fast she was going that day. With a staggering 48th place finish out of over 400 runners, it’s clear that she held her own against some stiff competition.

A Passion for Running

Training plays a significant role in Londyn’s victories. She has a unique approach to her training routine by running with boys on her team, which helps her push against the high standards she sets for herself. Over the summer, she dedicates herself to running approximately 20 miles per week, embracing the emphasis on trusting her training during races. This hard work and determination have clearly set her apart as one of the most promising athletes in Mitchell High School’s history.

Future Aspirations

Looking ahead, the stakes are high as the state meet approaches, set to take place at the lovely Broadland Creek Golf Course in Huron. This course is familiar to Londyn, as she races there twice each season. Her goal this year is to finish in the top 25, which would earn her the coveted all-state recognition. It’s worth noting that only two Mitchell girls have achieved this honor since 1991. Last season, Londyn competed fiercely but finished 40th at the Class AA state meet. However, marked improvement has her currently ranked 34th in the state and 19th among Class AA runners for this season, showcasing her dedication and progress.

Looking Upward

With the season well underway, Londyn genuinely believes that she’s on the right path towards achieving her goals. Her training and improvements instill a sense of hope and excitement that this season will be potentially groundbreaking for her. From wearing her heart on her sleeve throughout every run to aiming for personal bests, she exemplifies the dedication seen in top athletes.

Team Triumphs

But Londyn isn’t the only one making headlines in the Mitchell cross country scene. The boys and girls teams have recently hit it big at the Kimball High School Cross Country Invitational. Junior Brody Fuss and freshman Lyndie Fillingham each took home individual titles—a great sign for the future of the team’s performance. This level of success speaks volumes about the talent and spirit of Mitchell’s young athletes.

As the community celebrates Londyn’s impressive record and cheers on fellow athletes, there’s a sense of pride resonates within Mitchell. With the season unfolding, we can’t wait to see what more this passionate team, especially Londyn, will achieve on the racing course!
