Comments:
I was hugely excited to get out there and give this a go. Wanted to break 17 the whole season and I got the chance to do so. Watching Caleb smash that mile before we started was an incredible sight to see. Perfect splits with a monster kick arrived him at a massive PR, which brought everyone running the 5k (in the dark, in the rain) fantastic motivation.

The first few laps were right on pace, but after the first mile my 200/400 splits started to flag. Zeke pulled me through the first 3200 in 10:45, a bit off what we had aimed to do. We kicked it up a notch in the last 1800, finishing the last lap with a nice kick. PR'ed by 20 seconds, which left a great taste in my mouth to sum up high school cross country. Litty also had a phenomenal race, breaking 18, and so did the Noahs and Aidan and Nathaniel. Great day all around and I can't wait for this to become a team tradition!
