“16 of our 22 high school runners posted season best times,” said head coach Missy Springsteen-Haupt. “The course is relatively flat, and the weather was overcast which kept in cool. Most of them stayed at their ideal pace and used it to their advantage. We need to get better at pacing as we head into our last few meets of the season.”
