Boys Cross Country

Really nice day for a race today, polar opposite of the heavy rain and treachery of last years event. The Kent boys ran very well, with a number of personal best times set on the hilly and challenging TP course. We were led by Johnson Y., who finished first overall in the field of three teams. Not far behind, and with an aggressive race, was Sebastian Y. only slightly slower than his 5k last weekend on a track, quite impressive. Co-captain Arthur I. pulled across the line in fifth overall, close behind the TP and Berkshire top finishers, and despite his dissatisfaction with his execution there was nothing to be ashamed of in his effort. Ben B. delivered an excellent performance, looking strong and focused, passing a few competitors in the final 800m to help lock in the win. Co-captain Edward L. showed strength today, running better than ever and crossing the line in fifth for Kent. Patrick L. is coming back into top form, and was our sixth finisher. And the improvement of the day goes to Bennett M., who set a big-time personal best and concluded our varsity finishers! Owen Z. pleasantly surprised everyone, himself included, with a solid eighth place team finish, exceeding his time prediction for the day. Joshua B. had a great kick and was in good form, and Engle Z. overcame some mental hurdles and closed out the race for Kent with a nice effort. Final scoring: Kent 32, TP 35, Berkshire 59
