Slightly cooler temps and a fast HVAC Championship course were in the order of the day as our harriers scorched the course with fast times and great efforts. Despite losing two team leaders to sickness, our girls team placed 2nd and the BOYS WON! The boys are undefeated so far this season and our girls have two losses, to Ens and HH.
GIRLS - Olivia Dossett took charge, since her friends were out sick, and she posted a huge PR 14'09.13 and placed 7th overall. Sarah Stack 16th, in her first race of the season, was our second team member with a 15'14.86 and she was followed closely by Parker O'Hara 17th 15'25.43. Rounding out the scoring positions also were Lilly Woo 30th 16'35.85, Claire Thompson 31st 16'38.27, Neha Saggi 34th 16'43.40 and Hannah Laibinis 36th 16'46.12. Lilly and Claire were the surprises of the day with their top 5 team scoring finishes!
BOYS - Timothy Hays took charge of the race from the gun and went unpressed in his win and posted an 11'58 effort. Alistair Womack 12'36, Pelham Bergesen 12'37, Clayton Jelsma 12'51 and Oscar Fox 13'17 rounded out the top 5 in scoring position. Elias Woolsey 13'18 and Neil Narayanan 13'32 assisted in the team effort.. Pelham posted a big improvement today and we are always grateful for the leadership that Alistair and Myles Bishop provide for the boys!
A disclaimer: We use FAT (fully automatic timing) at the RC and we do not at other locations, so there are no complete race results. Thus, I will forward the team spreadsheet to you shortly with your performances.
