Messanlonskee instead of Leavitt..

The race on Friday was supposed to take place at Leavitt, but their football team had a conflict with the time, so it changed to Saturday. Our team relocated itself to Messalonskee to compete with eight or so other teams. It was our first time running their course, which people claimed was really flat and through fields. However, post course walk had us believing that throughout the race there would be several small but significant hills, and quite a bit of the course was in the woods, which was refreshing. Harlow Ladd smashed the boy's course record, running a 16:08 and winning by a second. Yet again the girls had to wait on the line for quite some time before the gun shot, so we kept ourselves busy by chatting and singing 'Don't Stop Believin'. Meaghan Collier broke the girl's course record and won the race with a 20:25. I was talking to her later and she said the old record from last year was about a 20:35, which means that I also broke it with a 20:29 (LPR!) and Gwen was a mere second away. Louisa Stancioff was our number three and ran brilliantly for fourth place (also an LPR!). We were without Emily Reed (one of our top 5) but still managed to win the meet. Something that I want to point out that was really special to see.. the whole Messalonskee boy's soccer team (including an injured boy on crutches) ran/hopped over to the boy's finish during their practice to cheer on their school. Very cool :)
