Another fun week with a good crowd. Maryrose Williams again pulled past PHS XC star Chloe Potash to grab the women's race in another season's best time, Jen Votruba stayed close and is ready to make her move as well. Mark Rabasco showed up to grab the season's best time and outrun Joe Guerds and Johnny Bontemps for the men's race. The biggest cheers though were for Latifah Ahmed who chopped 2 minutes off her time. The Points Series is heating up in a competition that rewards persistence as much as speed. 30 out of 33 racers ran a season's best. This race makes you faster. See you next week!
8/27 - What a great season! Huge turnout tonight, biggest of the year. Joe Guerds edged out Patrick Donahue for the win for the men. Lauren Farry won the women's race. The field was fast, 43 people ran season's best tonight. The points race made for some excitement. Once again, steady attendance rather than raw speed made the biggest difference. 44 kids ran for free over the summer at the races. Over $1,300 distributed to the two causes. Thanks to all who helped. Stay tuned, a winter series may be in the mix.
