XC Notes

-  The fast 5k course at Brown led to some fine PRs as well as a successful pilgrimage to New England, and the fast competition at the Cathedral Meet gave us numerous PRs as well.  But the spirit of the MIP was embodied this week in Junior Jim Purekal’s drastic drop in time.  Jim’s work ethic has been an example to all, and now has paid off for him.
