Boy's take 5th at Feds! Ladies take lucky 13th!
Saturday at Bowdoin park, our ladies led off the day (and a more perfect day for a race, you couldn't ask for) and raced to a 13th place finish. They actually tied for 12th, but the tie-breaker went against us, and we were only 8 pts from 10th place, that's how tight this race was.
This is the best finish for the ladies that I can remember in the 10 years I've been around and it may be the best since Mrs. Dearie's team captured 7th a few years ago.
They were led home by Vicky Ciotti, with Kerri-Anne Flynn, Molly Dearie, Gina D'Angelo, Stephanie Leo, Katya Meringolo and Shea Bohan.
These young ladies overcame an early season of doubt and frustration to gel as a team and do great things this season, CONGRATULATIONS Girls!!
The guys took the course next and ran well, claiming 5th place, a mere 2 pts from 4th. Tom Diliberto led the team home, with Pat Ginty, Brian Smith, Jake Hensler, Matt Taddeo, Kevin Kreider and Frank Segreto. This is the best finish for the guys since 2003, so a job well done lads!!
The guys are in action again next weekend, at the Nike Team XC National qualifiers, again at Bowdoin park.
Good Luck men!!
