Because this is Red Lion's first year in the DSAC, this is a new meet for us. We ran this course earlier this season in a much smaller meet against Howard and Design Lab, however, and it was great to see our times improve with heightened competition from the seven other teams in the DSAC.
The meet was divided into four races, with the top ten boys and top ten girls from each team running the respective varsity races and all other runners participating in the JV races. Full results for each race can be found here, so I won't go into too much detail with regard to times, but this was a very fast meet. When Coach asked afterwards how many of us set new PRs, lots of hands went up. At least six of the ten girls ran their fastest times ever at this race (Hannah, Faith, myself, Katie, Sophia, and Abby). Several of the boys also ran PRs, and Seyram Gafrey ('21) finished his first full race, in honor of which Coach presented him with the team 2x4 for the day.
The girls team also celebrated their PRs and the arrival of our new spirit wear sweatshirts with a full-on post-race photo shoot involving a brave attempt at a pyramid, among other things.

We're coming to the end of our season at a rapid pace (pun not entirely intended) with only two weeks left. We've started backing off on difficulty in practice in order to rest our legs for our final two meets: counties and states. I'm looking forward to seeing our team finish out the season strong!
