What? The end of summer already??

Yep, it's the concluding race of the Newton Hill X-C Series for 2007. The usual front-runners Tim, Steve and Rob all took the night off -- to train with their college and high school cross country teams -- so now the rest of us finally had a chance at first place!

Adam Parslow (19:32) and Aidan Kearney (19:53) were the winners of this week's race; they were also the lone finishers under the twenty-minute mark. Middle school phenomenon Bryan Quitadamo had a solid run (20:41) and finished in 3rd overall.

The women's race was a close contest: Laura Knotts outpaced Karla Walter by just 4 seconds to claim victory.

... Many thanks to Annette Lemerise for directing this year's races. Thanks also to Rich Lemerise & Friends of Newton Hill for their support along the race route, and at the post-race festivities!
