Gillis Wins Bay State Invitational; Gregorek sub-16:00!

Sophomore Margo Gillis won the Division I Girls race at the Bay State Invitational meet Saturday, running 19:30 on the Northfield Mountain XC course that will be used for the All-State meet November. It's the same course where Jess Barton won the D1 State championship three years ago.

The most impressive run of the day was Johnny Gregorek's 15:56.8 to win the Boys Division 2 race by over 40 seconds. I believe that is the third fastest time ever on the course, behind Ryan Collins' 15:49 (2006), Victor Gras' 15:52 (2003), and just ahead of Andrew Pitts' 15:57 (2001). In other words, 15:56 is a monster time.

Wasn't that the race where Victor Gras stumbled before the finish line and fell, and had a hard time getting over the line?
