The weather made for a crazy week, but we are really proud of how the athletes responded. On Tuesday, despite the heat, we competed at a high level. Many athletes improved their season bests. On Saturday we traveled to historic Detweiller Park. It was an incredible day with nearly everyone earning a season or personal bests. Many athletes showed major improvement from this race last year. In a field of about 300 athletes, Brooke Stromsland pulled away in the last mile to WIN the race! Despite only racing 6 athletes and with many teams ranked in the top 25, the girls finished in 6th place. Jack Erwin and Owen Wenberg both set personal bests to lead the Boys to a 9th place finish. In the Open Boys, Tim Smith and Jay Patel showed major improvement to lead the team to a 36th place finish out of 69 teams. Freshmen Sarah Lucier and Gretchen Good led the Girls in the open race. The team finished 27th out of 43 teams. We are very proud of the way they competed and they growth they have shown. Excited to compete again this week.
