The Roy Griak Invite is one of the bigger races in the country, with teams from around the country coming in to up the competition. Improvements show in different ways sometimes. It doesn't always have to show with Season or All Time Bests , it can sometimes show in the overall places of the teams, as well as how the team may have done in the same event the year before, which was the case for our girls team this year, as the boys showed improvements with their developments, running times that were faster than many of their PR's from a year ago! It wasn't a perfect day of running, good temps but a course that was a little spoungy. But that didn't stop our runners as they put forth solid efforts and held their own for where they are currently at in their developments.
Congratulations to Ruby as she continues showing solid performances in the bigger competitions and running smart throughout to move up to 5th place overall in the Maroon Division for Girls. This helped the Girls team finish in 31st place as a team out of the 49 teams in their Division. The Boys team was led by Dagi, who finished in 84th out of 412 runners, and helping the team finish in 30th place out of the 49 schools in the Boys Maroon Division.
Thanks to all of the family, friends, and even staff and alumni that were able to come out and watch and support the runners! There were a lot of spectators out watching the races at the Griak, and to hear and see a few that are familiar are always helpful in dealing with the energy!
Next up is an Invite on Tuesday in Cambridge. Information on the races will come out tomorrow, Sunday.
Thanks,
Denny
