2011 RCGC Cross Country Series Race #2 Recap
The 2011 RCGC Cross Country Series was at Valley View Nature Preserve by Patttison Elementary in Milford this past Thursday with race #2 of 8. About 40 runners showed up to race in pretty good conditions. Due to the recent rain the course was softer compared to last week's race. Stacy was able to make it this week and was quite impressed with the Valley View Nature Preserve, the ease to get to it, and the time it took to set up and tear down the course. The Top Male was David Bea with a course record time of 18:38. Top female was his wife Rachel Bea also with a course record of 19:09. She was also the third overall runner.
Join us next Thursday at Valley View Nature Preserve for Race #3 of 8.
