First Annual Somers Middle School Invitational

With over 400 middle school runners in attendance the Somers Invitational was a hug success. Thanks to all team members, parents, and volunteers for making this event so enjoyable for all involved.

The Somers Middle School team looked very good and were led by 8th grader Bene Abbate, who won the 8th grade girls race in a new course record time of 9:23. While that was an encouraging sign for the future of Somers XC, even more impressive was the fact that 19 8th GRADE GIRLS finished the race. Add to that the 6 7th grade girls and the 23 varsity girls, that makes 48 girls who are involved in the program, easily the biggest team we've ever had. We look forward to next year.

The boys were led by Larry Courtien who placed 5th and Jesse Rinaldo who was 8th.
