Middle School Cross Country Championship Results
Congratulations to everyone that participated in the first race of the year! Kelly D. led the girls with a 7th place finish while Max H. turned in a 3rd place performance for the boys. Several runners placed in the Top 50 and collectively we managed put together a strong representation of Glastonbury.
Several former G.W. Run Club members put together a string of strong performances for Smith Middle School in both the A & B division races. Great job everyone! Complete race results can be viewed at www.usaxc.com . This link is also listed at the bottom of my page.
Next race... Glastonbury Santa Run
This 3.5 mile road course is wide and flat in comparision to the Wickham Park race you just completed. It's the perfect time to race before the winter weather takes over for good. Last year's Run Club turned out 23 participants for this race. Our goal is to get 40 or more participants. I also expect all the former Run Club members to show up! Wear those red jerseys and be ready to run! See you soon. Interested members will be given a registration form in practice this week.
