Overall I was very pleased with the way the team ran and competed.  Some of the boys were not pleased with their times because in the past Eaton has been a fast course.  Keira did a great job of running with the front pack of girls today instead of having to catch them later.  Brandon did a much better job of running closer to the front pack of runners and it paid off with a personal record on his part.  This season has been a lot of fun since I have 9 guys fighting each week for a spot on the varsity team and this week a couple more showed signs of wanting to join the fight.
