Gillis 2nd to Davidner
Margo Gillis ran in the Girls D1 varsity race without the rest of her team in the wake of Coach Peter Martin's decision to hold Newton North out of the meet, which conflicted with observance of Rosh Hashana.
Gillis couldn't stick with Jenna Davidner (18:32, the fastest girls time of the day), but did manage a strong 2nd place in 19:12 in her second ever cross-country race.

If it's a TEAM and a decision was made not to race in observance of the holiday then why did Margo race? Seems like NN was trying to have it both ways.
I agree - it seems like it wasn't fair for the rest to have Gillis race. It should either be all in or all out.
who cares this is HS xc, let her do what she wants. is she even jewish? I know my parents didn't come to my meet but I still ran. It's all relative, having someone else make a choice for you baised on religous choices is silly.
please keep in mind that I myself am jewish.
A molehill made into a mountain by a rabbi who has too much time on her hands. Non-issue.
word.
Didn't Ranti break 17 at the first meet of the season?
