The weather was remarkably tame compared to past years. It was really only muggy for one or two races. The course was slightly different than last year which should have made it faster but the grass was much longer and the over all times were actually slower than last year.
The ladies put in a very solid day, led by Becky in 16:31; Becca 17:34; Morgan ( a freshman no less) 17:52; Colleen 17:53; and Katja 18:08. Everybody looked good coming in off of summer training and it was very nice to see a freshman break into the top five.
The boys also debuted a pair of fast freshman. Competeing in the sophmore race Kevin won the race outright with a time of 17:09 but was probably under 17:00 ( he had a little trouble staying on the course and finding the finish line). Ben ( not Flanders) ran 19:39 to make the varsity squad for saturday. The vets all seemed to struggle a bit finding fifth gear. Hopefully it was just tired legs from a long week of practice. Dennis 16:56; Andrew 18:03; David 18:07; Brian 18:29; and John 19:34. With the addition of Kevin, the top five looks good enough to go up against anybody at the end of the season.
Congratulations everyone.

Thanks, Dash. Despite your self-deprecating comments at the parent meeting, I think your photography skills are quite good. Not as sure about the musical accompaniment, but maybe that's an acquired taste.
No, the music is just bad. Actually, it's not even that good. It's the canned demos that came with the software program. The program adds them randomly by default. I would be happy to use something else if you want to send me something.
I ask for help on the music every year and so far no one has been bothered enough to step up.
Hey I can send you some music but my taste may be a bit off. Thanks for the work on the site.

Send it home with Andrew.
