Highlights

Glory Days Grill Invite, 13 Oct 2007

All runners ran season bests today as the team is beginning to peak with the WCAC Championship around the corner. Junior Kenny Hunt (17:56) and senior captain Joshua Choe (19:11) led the boys team. Junior Jeffery McDonald (19:52), freshman Johnathan DeVane (20:21) and junior Andrew Bannister (20:30) rounded out the scoring five for the boys. Of note, Kenny and Jeffery reached milestones by going under 18 and 20 minutes respectively. Kenny's time put him at 5th on the McNamara all-time list. It was Andrew's first race of the season after sitting out most of the season with illness.

The girls again were without a complete scoring team due to injuries. Junior Erica Minor (23:13) led the girls while senior captain Rachel Rochon (25:28) ran a personal best. Erica's time put her at 10th on the McNamara records list.

The team will compete next Saturday, 20 October, at the Georgetown Prep Classic.
