2011 RCGC Cross Country Series Race #3 Recap
The 2011 RCGC Cross Country Series was at the scenic Valley View Nature Preserve by Patttison Elementary in Milford this past Thursday with race #3 of 8. About 35 runners showed up to race in almost perfect conditions. It was a little cloudy with a threat of rain but it (the rain) missed us. The temperature was ideal for a Thursday night run. The course was softer with a couple of wet spots on the course. However, that did not deter Mischa McCormick from blowing away the field with a new course record of 17:55. He was followed by his Dad Greg McCormick who ran a 19:39. Top female was Kellie Johnson who ran a 21:56.
Join us next Thursday at Valley View Nature Preserve for Race #4 of 8. And remember there are two waterstops on the course - one at the start and one at the finish.
