Williams College Cross Country Meet - September 29, 2008
The Ephs showed a great team effort to win the title at the Purple Valley Classic, the first home meet of the season. The Varsity race was a 6 kilometer course, the same one that will be run for NCAA Regionals later in the season. Four Williams women slipped into the top ten, giving the Ephs a score of 38 points, handily beating second place Middlebury (with 66 points). Arch rival, Amherst, finished 3rd in the team competition.
For the second time in a row, captain Lauren Philbrook finished first for the Williams harriers, in a time of 22 minutes, 32 seconds. Philbrook ran a smart race, in the leading pack from the very beginning and keeping a steady pace all the way through the line. "We won all four races by a good margin [Men's and Women's JV and Varsity]," noted Philbrook. "And the fact that we beat Amherst was really exciting. I'm pretty impressed with how the freshman did in both races too, especially Mary Brunelli, who did great in her first 6k."
Not far behind Philbrook was Junior Bret Scofield, finishing 5th, who moved up nicely throughout the race, passing opponents left and right. Junior Jess Clarke had a breakthrough, feeling great over the longer course and finishing in 9th place. First year Mary Brunelli was 10th, and Meghan Shea rounded out the scoring five harriers, in 14th place.
The Junior Varsity women ran a 5k race earlier in the day, showing some promising talents. Lauren Goldstein-Kral ran most of the race with the men, finishing comfortably in first with a time of 20:13.
The Ephs take next weekend off and look forward to Division I New England's on October 11th at Franklin Park in Boston. |
