Canterbury Invitational

Millbrook Girls XC ran a great first race at the Canterbury Invitational. Our team goal at the beginning of this race was to work hard and finish as a team and we did just that. The girls ran hard, and kept up the endurance we saw in our first two weeks of practice. Dorothy Walker came in first for Millbrook girls at 24:04 and looking strong and relaxed throughout the race! Elizabeth Finch kept a quick pace throughout her first ever XC race and was right behind Dorothy finishing strong at 25:38. Lilla Powers flew into the first mile at a 7:40 minute pace and continued to make strides finishing at 26:48 for her first XC race. With some expected race day jitters, Mattie and Pam were determined to keep moving and improved throughout the race. Mattie finished at 28:37 and Pam at 36:24. Lillie Marcos showed great support cheering on her teammates throughout the race. We hope Lillie will recover from her injury soon and join her teammates in an upcoming meet!  It was a beautiful race day with a lot of hard work seen in each runner. We are looking forward to our first home meet of the season this Wednesday!
