Wins for Westminster
For the second consecutive weekend, Westminster hosted a XC meet, and the course was in great shape for the visitors from Kingswood-Oxford and Williston Northampton. The team understood the energy from the RMI would be difficult to repeat, but the first mile had a number of competitors from Williston pushing the front of the pack. By the drop into the wooded paths, however, Westminster had established a dominant position that the team never relinquished, with the long black line of harriers demonstrating the depth of this year's team. Co-captain Emmett de Kanter '19 again ran away from the field, followed by his teammate and co-captain, Teagan Stedman '18, who was glad to have a shot at the speedy sophomore from Williston, who finished third. Williston took the #4 position, but then Martlets took the next six spots, sealing the meet for the home team. The other First Team runners were, in order, Kieran Haug '21, Justin Schuster '19, Elliott Kennard '19, Daniel Chey '18 and Daniel Pinckney '20.
Westminster dominated the Second team competition as well. Five of the seven Second team runners are Sixth Formers, four of whom joined the team last year, and they take pride in the improvement they have made as runners in this short time. They are inspiring for some of the speedy underformers, including Will Rizzo '21, Alex Ellis '20, Hudson Stedman '21 and James Manderlink '21, who will be the backbone of the program in the years to come. If it had been scored out, the Second teams would have won 15-49 against K-O and 16-42 against Williston.
Thank you to the many spectators who came out to cheer on the runners. Next week, the team heads to the challenging hills around Kent School to take on Kent and Salisbury School.
