“The rain didn’t stop us from doing well,” stated head coach Missy Springsteen-Haupt. “Most of our runners continue to show the staggering progress that happens at this time in the season. We took a complete day of rest before the meet, and the beginning of our end of season taper is working nicely for most of our runners. Maya (J.), Katherine, Brenna and Myriam all continue to show major improvements, while Kylie had another significant drop to put her on the varsity roster for the NCC meet. Max, Luke, Vegard, Hayden and Cristian all posted personal bests, with some smashing bests set just last week.”
