MEDALS TO TOP 10 PLACES IN EACH RACE

WINNING TEAM AND TOP 5 INDIVIDUALS NOT ON THE WINNING TEAM ADVANCE TO THE STATE MEET IN EACH VARSITY RACE.

It was a good race for us. Despite missing two of our top 5 runners (Jack Fozard to injury and Tom Wray), the team posted an 18:43 team time average on a wet course and placed 9^th of 15 teams in a very deep field. The course was running

Approximately 30 seconds slow on the day. 

Senior Matt Maliniak ran a courageous race. He went out strong but smart and put himself in position to qualify for the State Meet. With less than 700 meters to go, he was the seventh individual in the race. He was still close with 200 meters to go and gave it all he had. His final place does not tell the real story of his race or how close he was to making States.

With our number 3-10 runners and more returning, the future is bright for the team. Many of our freshman ran their only their 2^nd ever 5K and first 5K at Bowdoin.
