Wickham Park Invitational
Yesterday, Elizabeth and her cross country teammates ran in the Wickham Park Invitational in Manchester, Connecticut. The course is 1.8 miles and is extremely hilly - both the start and the finish are uphill and apparently, most of the trails are uphill as well. Every boy and every girl had a look of pain on their face as they headed into the last 1/4 mile. Elizabeth did very well - she did not place high (combined, 6th, 7th, and 8th grade race), but she ran at an 8:25 pace over the difficult course, more than 30 seconds faster than her pace in the first race (which was on a much easier course). She was spent when it was done and she definitely gave it her all. We are very proud of her.
