Gillis actually ran a 19:12 and the course record was set in 2007 by Becca White at 18:28.

Thanks for the corrections, Bombay.

It's embarrassing to publish such blatantly incorrect information, and it's a lesson for me to stop trusting the local newspapers.

Will Needham start posting its results on athletic.net?

There's a distinct possibility that may happen.
