GCC Batch Meet- First Race

Tuesday the 13th, the majority of the team traveled to good ol' Gloucester County College for the first race of the season. The weather was quite unfavorable for a race as the temperature and humidity were well above the apt "race weather" which runners want.

In the varsity race, Ben "the bear" Helfand led the squad today, with a solid 5th place finish. Michael Bruce was hot on his heels in 6th, with Tyler Russ finishing 7th. Here are our team results for the varsity meet...

16- Chris Arnold 19:28
18- Mike Minion 19:32

21- Brad Krell 19:39

As for the Junior Varsity race, Matt Burt led the way for the cougars nabbing 7th place out of the field of 119. Freshman Dan Helfand ran a great first race, running 20:26, and rounding out the top ten. Good day for the Helfand household. Here are the full results of our squad in the JV race...
