Coming into the meet, the team was seeded 10th and our Eagles took that as a challenge and finished 6th (the second public school)! Four of the six racers enjoyed personal record (PR) times and there was one season best (SB).

Big improver Liam Imhoff (18:44 PR) and Ian Schuiling (19:50 SB) also helped the score while Elijah Gee (23:27 PR) dropped another 1.5 minutes!<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=2bx9gI_0wOTcy9c00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=2bx9gI_0wOTcy9c00" width="1600" height="1067" ></figure><figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=0Wq9ch_0wOTcy9c00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=0Wq9ch_0wOTcy9c00" width="1600" height="1067" ></figure><figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=2AvQ2J_0wOTcy9c00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=2AvQ2J_0wOTcy9c00" width="1600" height="1067" ></figure><figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=1SrZTm_0wOTcy9c00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=1SrZTm_0wOTcy9c00" width="1600" height="1067" ></figure><figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=4OSire_0wOTcy9c00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=4OSire_0wOTcy9c00" width="1600" height="1067" ></figure><figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=0Igedw_0wOTcy9c00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=0Igedw_0wOTcy9c00" width="1600" height="1067" ></figure><figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=2D3c5C_0wOTcy9c00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=2D3c5C_0wOTcy9c00" width="1600" height="1067" ></figure>For the girls, it was a battle.
