Our team has really shown its strength and depth in these last two weeks. Rookie runners, Jack Ferguson, Henry Loughlin, Chase Osgood, and Jeremy Siegel, have shown a continuing presence as they join Jon Ellis, Jeff Pini, Andrew Gallant, and myself.
We competed at the UMass-Dartmouth Invite two weekends ago and at the Gordon Invite this past weekend. Dartmouth was the first 8k of the season but that didn't seem to bother us. In the words of Forrest Gump, "That day, for no particular reason, I decided to go for a little run. So I ran to the end of the road. And when I got there, I thought maybe I'd run to the end of town..." What's a couple more miles?
The big race took place this past weekend in Beverly, Massachusetts. We raced against a field of 20+ teams which included a lot of the other teams in The Commonwealth Coast Conference, such as Gordon and Endicott. We had to compete without 2 of our top 7, but when the team scores were totaled Roger Williams finished in 4th place overall, but 1st in our conference. The final team scores were, Roger Williams – 154, Gordon – 211.
So looking into the future, we seem to be on the right course as we approach the conference championship on October 30th, right here at Colt State Park.
