Five Maynard XC runners arrived at Wayland High School on Sunday, ready to take on a wide variety of runners in the Wayland Cross Country Festival. This would be their only chance this season to get a feel for what real cross country racing is all about. The course ran slow, most likely from the many hills on the course, and the Maynard runners struggled a bit with the tough course and the 5k distance.
Once again Jeff and Janel led the way for MXC. In the co-ed race, Jeff finished in 30th place with a time of 21:56, and Janel was 57th (17th female), running 26:13. Rounding out the roster were Kevin (61st), Franny (80th), and Kassie (81st).
Unfortunately, only two cross country runners made it to practice on Tuesday after the long weekend. Hopefully this is not a trend that will continue through the end of the season.
Upcoming events:
Week of 10/13
Practices on Tuesday and Thursday (3pm start)
Week of 10/20
Practices on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday (3pm start)
Friday, 10/24: Cross Country team dinner (details TBD)
