The cross country team split their squad on Tuesday the 19th, allowing some runners who are typically JV to run as a varsity squad at the Open Door Invitational. Despite continuous rain all day, the skies cleared enough and the course stayed in exceptional shape to watch the Jaguars win this mid-week invite. The varsity team of Rachel Cogar ('16), Lauren Marconi ('15), Maeve Kroeger ('14), Bridget McGuire ('16), Clare Fibbi ('15), Molly Moore ('14), and Sara Hurley ('14) all took spots in the top 15 overall. Both Cogar and Fibbi ran personal bests to help the team to victory.
In the open race, the majority of runners toward the front were Jaguars, led by freshman Katie Butterfield who won the race with a PR of 22:50. Fellow frosh Emma Stalder ran for 2nd place, and senior newcomer Libby Pipak was 3rd. The team continued to take the top 10 spots in the open race.
For her efforts not just in this race, but for over-coming a freshman season filled with knee pain Clare Fibbi was voted team athlete of the meet. Congrats Clare!
