Friday night's Dash in the Dark certainly provided some reason for optimism for this Cross Country season. While none of our boys will be at the front of big races, it appears that any of the top 4 could be our top guy on any given day. Getting four runners across the line is a good start, and there seems to be some strong contenders for making the 1 thru 5 gap very small, with perhaps 7 or 8 runners with a chance to crack the top 7. 5 of the 13 boys who ran both years improved by 58 seconds or more this year over last - a sign that hard work is paying off.
While the boys had a good race, the girls were even better. The top relay team placed 5th, behind only very good teams from Starpoint, East Aurora, Sweet Home and Mendon. Their time of 37:26 was 11 seconds faster than Val, Amanda and Alaina ran when they won the race two years ago. And the B team was 4th among B teams, with some excellent running, especially by Ashlynn. Overall, 8 of the 9 returning girls improved by over 40 seconds, and this year's team beat last year's team by a 24-33 dual meet score.
