NC Runners Elite Invitational

Emma B. (21:29) and Devin (18:03) PR'd in their respective Varsity Championship races at the NC Runners Elite Invitational on Saturday.  Less than ideal windy conditions prevailed and average overall times were a bit slower.  River led the varsity boy's squad followed by Josh, with a strong finish given the conditions, Matthew, Grant, Price, Devin, and John for a 16th place (out of 41) varsity team finish.  Emma B, was followed by Anna, Finley (dropping a couple minutes off Wednesday's time!), Emma T., Nicole, Molly, and Angela for a 26th place (out of 35) varsity team finish.
