Hole-in-the-Wall - On the 1st "real" day of fall, the rain created a wet, sloppy mess for the Varsity races that kept the top finishers times down 20 ~ 30sec from the prev. weeks.  Rounding into form going into the last week of the regular season though, Sophie Lindstrom, Hailie Baker & Siri Christopherson all had personal bests for 5K in the fast race behind Carlyn's 20th place overall finish.  Andrew Cooper came home 6th overall for the boys.
