After nearly 20 hours of driving, we finally made it to the course (only to stay there for about four hours ahahaha)! The race was super competitive, with a strong and large front pack for a lot of the race. It was incredible to watch--maybe the most exciting race I've ever spectated at. Without Dylan, our top man, we pulled through with three all Americans, and came away with the fourth place finish. It was amazing to watch the goats out there pour their hearts out onto the course, especially the seniors who looked like they were genuinely having so much fun.They really ran beautifully as a pack. I know I'll probably never be out there on that course in their shoes, but it was so inspiring to see them race like that. After our long returning drives and arriving at Haverford a few hours ago (Sunday), I've really got no doubt that deciding to run in college, even if it meant leaving Becket, was one of the best decisions I've ever made. This was one of the funnest weekends ever. I love this team.

(Oh and by the way, I saw a guy run a pretty good race too that had some weird mustache and a bun on his head and he slightly resembled Tristan but who even knows...)
