Keeping our eyes on you; A tribute to the ex's

No, you are not forgotten. People ask me about you guys all the time; if you've settled well into the college routine, how you've done so far in your seasons. So, I've decided to dedicate a whole blog post entirely to you guys. Our #1 runner on the boy's team from last year was Kelton Cullenberg, who has gone on to pursue a career in mechanical engineering at UMaine. Melody Lam was our #1 girl's runner and is currently running for UMass Amherst. The first meet of the season (for both of them!) was at Franklin Park in Boston. My mom, sister and I drove down to watch, despite the fact that my brother didn't think it necessary. Upon arrival, we actually hid behind a tree while the UMaine guys got ready for a warm up. When the coast was clear, we dropped off a plate of blueberry lemon muffins on Kelton's bag and found Melody warming up with her team. And oh how weird it was to see her wearing maroon! She said it didn't feel quite like a high school race, that nerves weren't a big issue. On her team, Melody moved up from the high teens during her time trial to 11th (I believe??) in the race. Kelton had his first experience running an 8k, and talked about how much harder it was than a 5k when we found him (finally :) after his race was over. His teammate and captain, Riley Masters, won the race, and another "Maine guy" from last year's senior group, Jason Kaake (Morse) placed second on the team. Andrew Snyder (Cheverus) as well as Jeremy Theriault (EL) were also present.
