Hamilton vs Bronxville and Children's Village




Bronxville Runs By Hamilton
Harriers crushed by Bronxville, but salvage victory against Children’s Village



Crystal clear skies, a dry, fast course and temperatures in the 60s should have made for some fast times, but not today. The Hamilton Harriers were overwhelmed by a superior Bronxville team. The Broncos took the 1,3,4,5, and 6 spots. Only another fine performance by Arnold, who captured the 2 spot, prevented Bronxville from sweeping us away. The final score was a 24-52 rout.
Luckily for the Red Shirts Children’s Village was back again this week and despite our lack luster performances we were able to notch another dual meet victory.
One bright spot today was Kirstine who broke her Hamilton girls’ VCP course record with a 19:11 run. For the boys with the exception of Jamar, who set a PR of 17:23, and Bryant and Russell, who matched their times from last week, our performances were flat. There are no excuses, but the course was very crowded with at least four races being contested simultaneously. The heavy traffic clogged the trails and made passing difficult and at times impossible. The team was not particularly focused for this meet so we will put this one behind us.
This closes the dual meet part of our season. We finished with a very respectable 4-2 record. Not bad for the maiden season of our program. Now the focus turns to the upcoming Bobcat Run this Saturday at Byram Hills and next Tuesday’s League Championship Meet at VCP where we face the full force of Dobbs Ferry’s team.
