Paul Short results from today

Long day of fun XC. Here is a quick summary:

--Another fantastic day for our fantastic ladies team! Keep in mind that we left at 5 a.m. from Marist, and our women did not race till 1 p.m. Given that, and the sunny and warm conditions (loved it!) and the sloppy course ... and this was our third race in three weeks ... a great effort from a team that is so much fun to watch. Nicely done!
--Our top 3 men in the Gold Race ran tremendously well, breaking into the scoring packs of several nationally ranked teams. Note the rankings of teams in that race. To be middle of the pack in such a stellar field is something else.
--Sloppy course: Chuck surmises the women's 6km ran about 30 seconds slower than ideal conditions due to the slop. My best guess on the men's side is that it was about 45 seconds slow. These are just estimates, and of course XC is all about place ... but at least it gives you a basis of comparision, as imperfect as that might be.
--Pleasant surprise to see Walsh there cheering on the Foxes and the various Wantagh/LI-related runners in the many races.
--Great to see Marist Running Alum Justin Harris, coaching his SUNY New Paltz charges.
--Always nice to see our Poughkeepsie XC/Track neighbors from Vassar College.
--Thanks to all parents and family members for their support and for telling me that you read this blog!
