Junior X-C victorious at Park Invitational

Jr XC squad with Park Invitational trophy

Congratulations to the victorious Roxbury Latin squad that took home the team title at the Park Invitational on 22 October, defeating 15 other teams on the way. Out of 178 runners, all of RL’s harriers finished in the top 100. Daniel Gillis (2nd overall) and Nolan McKenna (3rd overall) won individual medals for their very strong efforts at the front of the pack.

 

And a word from Coach Dromgoole:

Boys: Here is an important lesson about a team’s critical 5th runner: Milton placed 4 runners in the top 13 (!). They were ahead of RL by 15 points after the 4th runners came in (RL’s #1-4 = 49 points / Milton’s #1-4 = 34 points). However, Milton’s 5th runner placed 73rd in the team scoring. RL had 11 runners in before Milton’s 5th! Those guys were our difference-makers today. Well done!Team results hereIndividual results here
