For Tomorrow We Try!

Yes, tomorrow we finally get to show our stuff. After a summer of training, and 17 days of practice, we are set for our first real competition.

As a reminder, we lost a very close race (1 second) to Athena at Seneca Park last year:

We ran much faster when we returned to Seneca Park, but Sutherland spanked us 15-47; however, they have lost 6 of their top 7 runners from last year. Note that their 5th returning man from that day finished behind our 8th returning man. Our depth will be key to beating them on Saturday. Here are last year's results:

Name               School        Place     Time
Phelan, Paul (12)  Sutherland  2 16:23
Boucher, Mitchell (12)  Sutherland  3 16:26
Longwell, Scott (12)  Sutherland  4 16:29
