 of features, superb build quality and a great cycling experience for cyclists of all abilities.The Louisville boys roll to a team title, while St. Thomas Aquinas' Athena Welsh captures a convincing victory in the girls race at the GlenOak Golden Eagle Invitational.
It’s always nice to celebrate a team title after the first high school cross country meet of the regular season.
Louisville’s boys hope to enjoy a few more.
With five runners who finished in the top 16, the Leopards recorded a decisive victory Saturday at the GlenOak Golden Eagle Invitational. They finished with 40 points, 67 ahead of runner-up St. Thomas Aquinas.
Nick Chaplik came in second overall in 15:59.8 to lead Louisville. His twin brother, Noah, finished fifth, followed by Zach Fresenko in sixth place. Noah Murray came in 11th and Ben Tornow was 16th to complete Louisville’s scoring.
With Cleveland St. Ignatius in the meet, the Leopards were hoping to gauge how good they are. The Wildcats are ranked No. 1 in the state in Division I, but some of their top runners did not compete. They finished third behind Aquinas.
“That bummed us out about 15 minutes before the meet,” Nick Chaplik said.
There was a way Chaplik could measure individual success in the first regular-season race of his junior year. Curtis Hanle, one of the best distance runners in Louisville history, ran a 16:15.40 in winning the 2009 Golden Eagle Invitational as a junior.
“That’s what I wanted to run,” Chaplik said.
Head coach Bob Sudomir thought Chaplik could finish in under 16 minutes. He was right. Chaplik and winner Andre Bollam-Godbott of Brunswick were the only runners to break the 16-minute mark.
It was business as usual for Athena Welsh as the St. Thomas Aquinas senior rolled to a convincing win in the girls race. Welsh finished in 18:30.1, just over 32 seconds ahead of freshman Felicia Pasadyn of Brunswick.
“I didn’t really have a certain goal for today,” Welsh said. “I normally try to stay away from time goals.
As one of the top distance runners in the state, Welsh leads an Aquinas team which has high hopes again this season.
The Knights return several runners who helped the school’s girls track and field team win a state title in June. They finished fifth overall Saturday, but were runners-up behind Gilmour Academy in the Division II-III standings.

The latest cyberattack comes after record-breaking hacks at Premera BlueCross and Anthem, affecting 11 million and 80 million people, respectively.
Hackers infiltrated a single database in June 2014 and may have been able to acquire usernames, names, birth dates, e-mail addresses, and subscriber identification numbers. According to CareFirst, the database did not include passwords, Social Security numbers, medical claims, employment information, credit card numbers, or financial records.
Though CareFirst said the information would be of limited use to identity thieves, it will provide free credit monitoring and identity theft protection to the affected individuals for two years.
This week, members of the U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging called on the CMS to make changes to Medicare’s recovery audit contractor program, which some providers have identified as a driving force behind the rise in observation stays in recent years.
Committee members urged the agency to make changes to address the “hospital observation stay crisis”, which Committee Chair Susan Collins noted can have a “devastating” monetary affect on Medicare beneficiaries. Observation stays have increased due to a number of factors, including audit contractor activities, leaving hospitals in an unfavorable position.
CMS Deputy Administrator and Director Sean Cavanaugh confirmed that his agency has already taken action to change the RAC process. He said that CMS is considering feedback from hospitals and physicians and is planning to respond with a proposed rule on outpatient prospective payments that the agency will release this summer.
