AB beat LS today and we are now in a three way tie for first place in the DCL regular season standings which I believe will hold up for all three teams during the regular season. We beat AB so each team has a loss and a win not in common so it will remain a tie.

We have been hit very hard this season by illness. Today was the first day we ran an almost complete varsity team with only Lizzie Fineman out sick.
What a difference it made having a full varsity line up. We were able to have our girls key off of each other and that really helped them run stellar times.
This was a very fast team time and our top 5 now is the best we have had the past couple of years by a good amount. We now have 5 girls that project being under 20:00 minutes for 5K and that puts us back in the hunt of our goals to give a go of it at the DCL championship and to win a trophy at the Ea. Ma Division I championship. I feel that our execution of our race plan was spot on today and this was a huge confidence builder. I also love how we showed our depth with our 6th and 7th closing the gap on our top 5. This is how you hope a team will race each time out.
Rebecca was sensational as she cruised through the first mile in 5:46 and looked very relaxed. She has had a lot of quality meets already and I wanted her to run a more relaxed effort today. She was certainly relaxed and she can go so much faster.
Lucrecia missed over 10 days with illness and she did not look like she had missed a beat as she lead our top 5 pack over the course. Clare Martin ran a very nice race and she was joined by frosh Katie Collins to round out the top 5 places. Katie has shown this kind of ability and I am thrilled that she was rewarded with this kind of race. Anna Rhatigan who has been coming back from a concussion and then an illness that kept her out of all of the pre season and part of the start of the season is gaining a lot of strength. This was her best race of the season by over a minute and she now gives us a stellar top 5. Matia Whiting had her best race ever today and she was in view of our top 5 the entire race. Our 3rd frosh on the team today ran her first varsity race and showed exactly why I felt that she belonged. What a wonderful debut for Midori Sangiolo as she will certainly strengthen our team this season and will gain experience for next year when we graduate a lot of our depth.
Sara Wang rebounded nicely from being ill last week and ran a race that is right at her PR.
We hit on all cylinders today with each of our girls running a season best race. That extended to a great team effort in the JV race. Our JV is still short handed due to illness, but ran a great team race today. Leah has just returned from illness and looked very strong as did Caraline. Noosha, Leda and Sophia ran very intellegent and even races to round out our JV scoring.
