The New England Collegeiate Cross Country Championships were held at Franklin Park in Boston on Saturday in a light rain. It was a great chance to see many athletes who competed for local high high schools.
Several Newton North Alumni competed:
In the Women's Varsity 5K, Liz Gleason (Williams '08) placed 18th overall and 3rd on her team in a personal best 18:36. The Williams women placed 2nd out of 44 teams at the meet.
Also in the women's varsity race, Anna Schindler (Wesleyan '09) placed 208th in 20:58. Teammate Brittany Morse sat out the race due to achilles tendonitis.
In the Men's varsity race, Clayton Lloyd (Brandeis '09) placed 158th in an 8K PR of 27:26 and was 45th man for the Judges. Clayton ran his trademark race -- staying back and under control through the early stages and then moving up many places in the final 3K.
Jason Abbott-Dallamora (New Haven '08) competed in his first race since recovering from a back injury and ran 31:34. Jason also ran a patient race, passing about 15 runners in the second half of the race.
Ciaran O'Donovan (Tufts '07) ran in the men's sub-varsity race and placed 175th in 29:55.
