Friday Night is All Right!

This past Friday evening the Lesley University Cross Country team ran the Saints Invitational at Franklin Park. We had much support from our parents and it turned out to be a good day. Our men were the highlight of this race.

We beat Mitchell College and Daniel Webster College. Both of these teams are NECC teams that we compete against on a regular basis. It was a preview for what it to come on Halloween when these three teams meet again at the NECC Championships. All bets are off since the race is small. This means it is ultra important that every man beat his counterpart on the other teams. It will be a difficult challenge but fun to watch. Congrats to Fran, Dillon, and Gus who ran personal bests. They also ran smart.

Our women's team was not complete since our #2 and #3 did not run. But we saw good performances out of Janice Catalano and Elissa May. Hopefully, everyone works hard in the next 2 weeks to prepare for the first of two championship races in the next month.

Look out for our 2009 NECC Championship Preview which should be posted in the beginning of next week. Until then, run hard, run smart, and just run.
