Saturday, October 2, 2004 Alexander Invitational CC Race

Our last weekend invitational of the season proved to be memorable in many ways. We were able to run four races, boys and girls varsity, and boys and girls JV. We again competed against mostly larger schools (AAA-AAAAA) The weather was quite cool at the start and the course was extremely flat. The race was run in two loops around a large field in the McIntosh Nature Reserve. The footing was a bit muddy in places, but there was nary a hill to be found anywhere. The times reflect these conditions, as you can see:
