CROSS COUNTRY UPDATE: A cool breeze greeted the Running Raiders this past Sunday at the Dominican Campus - a good ten degrees cooler than their first effort on this pitch, but the running was smoking hot!
The 7th and 8th graders led the way with Isabella Guillamondegui (PREP) placing 4th and Ellie Bryan locking up 9th place. Aidan Nix took 2nd for the boys. The race moved back to the regular order with the Kindergarteners, where Josephine Ness came in 3rd in the combined boys/girls race. Thomas Casey came in right behind in 9th place. Lila Thigpen took 4th for the girls in the 1st/2nd girls race while Carson Dunn took 7th for the boys. Eleonore Ness took 6th place for the 3rd/4th girls while Gabe Guillamondegui (PREP) and Sam Halloran battled to the finish line to finish 7th and 8th respectively for the 3rd/4th boys race. The last race of the day, 5th/6th boys saw some sterling racing as Ryan Jones repeated his 1st place finish with Sean Meffe seconds behind in 4th place.
Our ten most improved times this week were: Lizzie Formosa (K) -3:44; Michael Sechrist (1st) -2:12; Jillian Manno (4th) -1:48: Grace Darke (7th) -1:36; Susanna Donnelly (8th) -1:35; Isabella Gavigan (6th) -1:34; Josephine Ness (K) -1:28; Joshua Purinton (K) -1:26; Caroline Meyer (6th) -1:26; Jake Gerth (1st) -1:17; Olivia Stany (3rd) -1:11.
In all, it was a terrific day. The Cross Country Team will race again this coming Sunday, October 8th, then will be off for a week to make final preparations for Championship Sunday on October 22nd.
