On Tuesday, October 1st, we raced against Tome and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA). FCA hosted the meet at the Restoration Farm out in Harford County, Maryland. The course looped around the farm and through the woods, and included plenty of uphills and downhills. The unseasonably warm weather and scenic location made for a wonderful race.

Fiona Fawcett ('22) came in not far behind her, running 25:58. Captain Katie Rippon ('20) and Celia Pope ('24) finished with times of 26:23 and 26:27, respectively.

The DVCS boys had a strong race as well. Alternate Captain Bryce Pope ('23) finished first for our team and in seventh place overall, with a time of 21:36. Kai Schmeidel ('23) finished in eighth place overall in 22:21. Captain Marc Sherman ('20) came in with a time of 25:18. Edward Scott ('24) and Anthony Dorno ('24) rounded out our guys' team, running times of 27:18 and 30:31, respectively. Our guys' team achieved their goal of beating Tome with a score of 24-31.
Overall, this was a good race for the DVCS Titans. The course was challenging for many of us, but we still worked hard and had a strong performance. We get a break from racing this week, but that gives us a chance to focus on our training as we enter the final month of the season.
