Chase Fedolak was determined to make the most of the opportunity.
Stride for stride with Utica’s Gabe Garbarino heading into the final straightaway of the MAC Red Division cross country jamboree, the Dakota senior put pain and fatigue aside in an effort to finish first.
“I was like, ‘It’s now or never,’” Fedolak said after he finished a half-second ahead of Garbarino at Delia Park in Sterling Heights on Tuesday. “You’ve got to give it your all, even when you don’t think you have it.
“I knew Gabe was going to be right there next to me. He’s a great competitor. I love racing against him.”
Garbarino won the first jamboree of the season at Stony Creek Metropark, and Fedolak finished second.
This time, with his team trying to edge Eisenhower after taking second to the Eagles at the first jamboree, Fedolak had a lot on his mind as he and Garbarino sprinted to the finish line.
“Gabe beat me the last jamboree, and I got him this time,” said Fedolak, whose time was 17 minutes, 5 seconds. “I’d say it’s pretty solid for both of us.
“At the start of that last straightaway, he was a little ahead of me. I knew he was going to gun for it. I felt like I was flying. I felt like he was flying, too.
“This was an important meet. These are jamborees, not invitationals. Winning a jamboree is for your team. It’s not just for yourself. It means more to me than medaling at an invitational.”
Garbarino gave credit to Fedolak.
“It was tough,” Garbarino said. “He’s a good runner. I guess he had a better kick than me. It was a great race. At the end, it was friendly competition.”
Dakota finished first overall in team scoring, giving the Cougars a 7-0 dual-meet record for the jamboree.
Eisenhower, which went 7-0 at Stony Creek, lost only to Dakota at Delia Park as both teams finished with 13-1 records to share the dual-meet championship.
“Our mindset was, we’ve got to beat Ike,” Fedolak said. “They’re a really good team. We had to be better today.”
Eisenhower’s Logan Hefferan, Zac Truman and Brennan Brothers finished in places Nos. 4-6, respectively. The Eagles’ other scorers finished 18th and 32nd.
All five Dakota scorers finished in the top 21. The Cougars’ Mitchell MacDonald was 10th, Thomas Szymanski 11th, Joshua Vanslambrouck 14th and David Walker 21st.
“It wasn’t our best day, but you have to be happy with the result,” Mike Timpa, the Dakota coach, said. “We know we’re capable of running better.”
Experience gained since the first jamboree helped the Cougars, Timpa said.
“I think our guys are doing a better job of understanding how to run as a pack,” the coach said. “It was a learning curve for them.”
In the girls race, Karenna Duffey of L’Anse Creuse North finished first in 19:48, and runner-up Hannah Toner led Romeo to the top team finish. Grosse Pointe South and Grosse Pointe North took second and third, respectively.
Grosse Pointe South, which went 7-0 in the first jamboree, had a 6-1 mark this time, but the Blue Devils won the dual-meet championship with an overall mark of 13-1.
Reanna Raymond, who finished third, paced the Blue Devils in 20:30.
“We did not run well today,” Grosse Pointe South coach Steve Zaranek said. “At the mile, we were so spread out.
“North ran the best race I’ve seen them run in years, and Romeo ran well. They had their first five packed up so nicely, and we were so spread out. I give a lot of credit to those two teams.”
Duffey, a junior, ran close behind Toner for the first two miles before she made her move to the front.
“I heard the footsteps and the breath behind me, and she just came running by me, and I knew after that I was done,” Toner said.
“She’s a very tough competitor.”
Duffey, a two-time Macomb County champion, won’t compete again until the county meet at Stony Creek Metropark on Oct. 15.
“I was racing for a workout today,” Duffey said. “I’m not focused on times right now.
“I’m adjusting to the speed workouts and training. I’m not really pushing it in any of the races, until the last 10th of a mile.”
Romeo’s Madelyn Malczewski was fourth, Julia Knepper fifth and Barrett Schettler eighth. Charlene Yarema, 27th, was the Bulldogs’ fifth scorer.
“It’s sweet,” Romeo coach Mike Buslepp said of the jamboree victory. “Our top four are really developing this season. They’re running with a lot of confidence right now.
“I’m looking forward to seeing what they can do this year and beyond.”
Lexie Jorgens of Eisenhower finished sixth and Marisa Papadelis of Stevenson was seventh.
