Since I am back from the Lehigh Valley Marathon, I can finally get around to posting here. The team's trip to the "Dash in the Dark", was both fun and successful. While last year saw the boys pull off an exciting come-from-behind victory, this year saw the girls get the win over Mendon, using a different strategy: Amanda went first and opened up a lead over Mendon's top two runners. Val extended the lead to just over a minute, despite being all alone, setting things up for Alaina, who did not have to worry about Shaylyn Tuite running for Mendon. Alaina ran a fine race, splitting 6:49, then 6:39, for a 33-second win!
While our top boys did not match up with last year's top guys, as a team the performance was excellent, as 13 of the top 25 performances are from this year's race. Will leading off with a 10:52 showed that he is ready to race. The biggest surprise was Kevin pulling off an 11:48 in the Blue race, which was our 6th fastest time of the day.
Complete results are available at YellowJacket racing - choose Results, then 2011, then scroll as needed to the Sept 9th date.
