Co-curricular Report
Cross Country Team
On Wednesday, September 21 the cross country team travelled to Trinity College School in Port Hope for the Harrier Invitational meet. About 1000 students in 6 race divisions ran at the meet; some races had more than 200 competitors in them! Carter Corbett ran a fantastic debut in the Midget Boys’ 5000m race, completing the course in a speedy 22 minutes, 17 seconds. Chris Gan, Mark Li, and Matthew Neretlis rounded out RLC’s Midget Boys’ team. Though RLC didn’t have enough runners to field teams in the Junior Girls’ 4000m or Junior Boys’ 6000m divisions, Elana Li, Lindsay Wu, Rongqi Li, and David Harris competed as individuals. David’s performance was particularly impressive as he exceeded the time goal he set for himself by almost 2 minutes! Six Senior Boys ran in the last race of the day, a 7000m event that included 2 ascents of the dreaded “Mt. Trinity” hill. Atsushi Hamano was the first RLC runner to cross the line, finishing his race in under 34 minutes. Ray Smyth was close behind, completing the course right on the pace of his 35-minute goal. These two boys, along with Miguel Mendez Lopez, Kevin Yang, Zheyuan Liu, and Colin Lin, placed 34th in the team competition. They were in the mix with several other CISAA schools, and it will be exciting to see how the competition plays out at the CISAA Championships in October.
Congratulations to all runners for a solid effort in the first race of the season. The team is in action again on September 27 at the Hoya Hills Invitational in Huntsville.
