Despite Winterthur's reputation as a "challenging course," our whole team had a solid race. After the race, most of the team was able to make it over to Seasons Pizza for a time of celebration, including some of our middle school runners. We have had a wonderful first season as the Delaware Valley Classical School Titans!
