Westbrook Road Race

Great day for the Westbrook Road Race, which is 2.11 miles. 10am start, weather was beautiful in the 50's and not windy. We had won the team title the last 4 years and were looking to retain it this year as well. Not that great of a turnout from other schools. We had lots of guys running this year and they ran well. We went 2,3,5,7 to win the team title over South Portland. Ethan Shaw from Falmouth won the race in 10:33. Great job guys on the win, still lots of work left but again we are making progress. After looking things over, if you take your 2 mile time and subtract 20 seconds that's what your 2 mile time would be on the track right now based off of today's run.
