Martlets Host RMI
Cross Country - First Girls' finish Sixth out of Eight teams @ Richard Miller Invitational
With the temperature over 30 degrees lower than last week's race, the Martlets faced very different conditions, cool and windy. Hosting the Richard Miller Invitational, however, the Martlets were comfortable on their home course. Annabelle Smith '21 continued to impress, just being edged out of 10th place, but more importantly, perhaps, she ran the fourth fastest time of any female Martlet on their home course in 21:28, the fastest since 2008. Bethany Winters '20 also looked strong throughout the race as she is beginning to push herself more and more. She ran a lifetime best on this course in 23:52. Liz Casey '18 looked solid for the Martlets coming in third followed by Third Former Michelle Wu who is improving every week. Maggie Chaves '19 rounded out the top five, killing her lifetime best on the course by over a minute. Chaves is making great strides in her third year on the team. In the Second Girls' race, Gabi Drumm '18 did a great job of leading the eight girls who ran and beat her lifetime best on the course by over three minutes, an astounding improvement in a year. Many of the new runners fought through injury and nerves but were excited to race on their home course. Looking particularly strong at the finish were Katherine Ashe '21, Valeria Osorio '19 and Alie Masthay '21. This is the largest group of runners the team has fielded in years and their determination to run and improve will surely lead to better and better results.
