Congratulations to the Running Wildcats for challenging the hills of Milton this past Saturday at the Milton Invitational. A heavy rain the night before led to perfect racing conditions at Milton, and the Wildcats took advantage of the overcast skies and cooler temperatures to climb the challenging course. With a reverse race order, the open race started the day, followed by the JV race, and ending with the Varsity race. Congratulations to Claire S winning the JV race, and medal winners Anna M, Kate B, and Ethan A in the top 20. As a team, the Varsity girls took 3rd overall!! Every runner grew stronger on the hills and learned strategies to be used for the rest of the season. This was a race about place - not time - and the Wildcats used the challenging hills to their advantage encouraging each other to the top. Congratulations to all runners on a great meet. The coaches would like to thank all the runners for staying so positive and uplifting during the race - cheering on their teammates and displaying Wildcat Pride! Thanks to all the parents for their support of Wildcat XC, and a special thanks to Guest Coach Roger Gay for his support! Full results can be found at
