Running-Trail race 18:19 [5] 5.0 km (3:40 / km) +5m3:39 / km shoes: X Talon 212-2
MIC meet at Ben Davis-fast course and a PR. Okay start, but the hill section was very congested and I lost a few places to my teammates here. After the first downhill, I was surprised to see Bennett, Sam, and Cal ahead of me. Luckily I was able to use them to advantage and eventually pass them. Later in the race, I worked hard to get ahead af the next wave - Gordon, Soren, Eric, and Ryan. Carmel kid (probably a jr or sr) Ben passed me in the finish chute but I stayed ahead of my teammates and was 18th on the team, 73rd in the JV overall.
Carmel showed their dominance of the MIC today by sweeping the top 20 of the JV boys race and winning both varsity races, all without their top 7. NC may be competitive with Carmel in other sports, but in cross country Carmel can simply not be beaten.
