New School Record Set and a Few Personal Bests, Team Comes in 7th of 14
The Martlets traveled to Williston for the second time this season to compete in the Shaler Invitational for the first time. It was a very fast and competitive field and the Martlets had a huge day, finishing seventh overall. The big story was Oumou Kanoute '17 who after missing last week's race came back with a vengeance. After missing going under 20 minutes by a second on this course three weeks ago, she was determined to do so today. Not only did she crack the 20-minute barrier running a 19:42, but also set a new school record and came in second overall. It was truly an amazing race for Kanoute who ran so hard that she pulled some rib muscles along the way. Looking strong and relaxed, Caroline Percival '19 also had her best run ever and came across the line second for the Black and Gold for the first time this season. Liz Casey '18, Bethany Winters '20 and Maggie Chaves '19 also achieved personal bests. Abby Hovey '18 ran her fastest race of the season and Sarah Minella '17 continued to run well. As a team, the group averaged over 20 seconds faster than the last time on the course. The top seven ran a 7:05 pace. It was excellent evidence of the hard work and progress this group has made. Well done, girls.
