Hamilton Brings Home Medals
Harriers set PRs at Bobcat Run,
Byram Hills , Saturday October 11, 2008
Hamilton was one of twenty teams that decided to bypass the crowds at the Manhattan Invitational in favor of running at the Bobcat Run in Byram Hills, and they are glad they did. PRs fell faster than the autumn leaves on this sunny, early October day. The day’s biggest improvements were seen in the boys’ JV race where Soe bested his 5K mark by almost five minutes. Not to be outdone freshman phenom, John Varkey, covered the distance an amazing eight minutes faster than his previous best.
Our boys’ varsity squad was hindered by the absence of Arnold and Jamar. Too bad, it would have been interesting to see what we could have done against a lineup of teams our size had we been at full strength. Nevertheless, the team stepped up with everyone running a strong race. Hashem and Allen brought home their first cross country medals. Kirstine led our finishers in the girls’ race. She also set a 5K PR and was awarded Hamilton’s first girls’ cross country medal ever. The team looks tuned up and ready to compete at Tuesday’s League Championship meet. Run Red Raiders run!
