Cross Country in Northampton

On Tuesday night at 6:00 the Cross-Country 5K team members traveled to Northampton to participate in a 5K race that is open to the public. While the majority of the runners were adults, the Eaglebrook boys rose to the challenge. The team members paced themselves by trying to stick with a stronger runner on the team. With Henry Hirschfield running a 19:10 and finishing 6th overall, the pace was quick. The course offered a tough challenge with a steep hill at mile three, but the whole team stuck together and looked strong. Finishing off the evening with a burrito dinner, the squad seems poised for a strong showing at the meets on Saturday.
