2014 RI Freshman State Champ!!

I'll put aside my whiny recovery blogging for a moment to highlight a true accomplishment:

RI State Freshman X-C Championships
Tuesday, October 21, 2014
Goddard Park, Warwick

Link to Westerly Sun article

Just one slice of the chaotic start, 208 runners

About 1 mile in, neck-in-neck with an East Greenwich runner
who was the winner of the 2014 RI Injury Fund X-C Freshman Race

Out of the woods a mile later, he's dropped the EG runner

This year's 2014 RI State Freshman Championship winner!!
Approx time 13:43 (2.5 miles), average pace 5:29
FIRST.FRESHMAN.BOY.X-C.CHAMP.FROM.WESTERLY.  EVER!

To the victor go the spoils!
