CORE Wins Intrasquad

With the largest team in boys cross country history, JMM Boys CC had an exciting intrasquad this Saturday. We set a record of 55 finishers at intrasquad. Nearly half the runners (26) were competing in their first cross country race...ever.

The CORE won its first intrasquad championship with 406 points, outdistancing the Warhawks 462 and Thundercats 467. Jordan C. repeated as individual champion. Our varsity was spread out over 2 minutes and we will need to close that gap as the season goes along. We have great depth again this year, just like last season we had 15 athletes under 21:00 (with the 16th at 21:01) this depth will help lead the competition we will need to improve as a team throughout the season. (Complete results and times will be posted in lockerroom on Monday)

I like to see the hard work we have put together as a team leading into the intrasquad race. If we can keep this work up throughout the season we will see many large improvements in PRs throughout the year (starting as early as next week). It is exciting to see the potential our young team has for this season.
