Congratulations to WTC members who competed at the Carlisle Middle School Invitational yesterday. Leah Brams won the varsity girls race with a PR time of 12:20 (which Joe believes is a meet record) and helped to lead her Belmont team to a 2nd place finish. (Leah finished 4th in this race last year with a time of 12:53). Clare Martin was 6th in 12:53 and Alex Wolf was 16th in 13:26. In the boy’s race, Christian Herlihy was 4th, (with a huge PR time of 11:29 over last year’s 12:45), Zachary Manickus-Hill was 7th, Daniel & Michael O’Donoghue were 9th & 10th and Thomas O’Donoghue was 19th. Christian, Daniel, Michael & Thomas led their team to a 1st place finish.

Complete results can be found here.

Despite more challenging course conditions at Franklin Park today (many muddy areas which made the course a bit slower than for our first race a few weeks ago) we still had 8 members make personal records and many, many others that were only seconds off.

Winning 11-14 Boys Team

Our Club had some sizzling performances at the annual Wayland XC Festival, held on a reasonably hot day and on a bit more challenging course at Wayland HS. Both of our boy’s and girl’s 11-14 teams won their division with only 15 points, the lowest possible point total that can be scored in a team competition, as a result of both teams taking the top 5 places in the team scoring (after displacement).

In the boy’s 11-12 age group, DANIEL O’DONOGHUE, MICHAEL O’DONOGHUE and CALVIN PERKINS placed 1-2-3, as did LEAH BRAMS, SONYA JAMPEL and ZOE GOMPERS for the 13-14 girls. CLARE MARTIN AND EINAT GAVISH were 1st and 3rd for the 11-12 girls and WILL RHATIGAN was 3rd for the 13-14 boys.

Special Congrats to those members who raced the 1.8 mile distance for the first time. RACHEL SOLOMON 14:24, BEVERLY ORTIZ 18:03, BRYSON LIPSON 14:05, OWEN PICKETTE 14:17, LIAM O’CALLAGHAN 14:39, PHILLIP BATLER 16:49, JACK CRONIN 13:46; ANNA KRAFFMILLER 17:39
