In the first of three appearances at Franklin Park this season, the Smith team took third place in the peculiarly named Codfish Bowl. (Thankfully for everyone involved, there was no seafood feast anywhere near the course.) The team was helped by huge PRs by seniors Micaela Young and Katie Paulson-Smith. For the first time (but clearly not last) in her racing career, Micaela broke 20 minutes, coming in thirteenth place with a time of 19:42. Katie P-S soundly broke 21 minutes for the first time on this course, finishing in 20:43. Other notable performances include senior Kylee Drugan-Eppich's 20:15 (2nd for the team and a PR on the course), as well as first year Katie Stephens third place finish for the team with a time of 20:20. Abby finished in 20:59, Katie D 21:01, Victoria 21:11, Cynthia 21:17, Becky 21:54, and Sarah 21:59
As the photos show (thank you Jennifer Dempsey!!), the Smith Pack was in full force during the race. We also hope to post some video footage soon.
The team returns to Franklin Park in two weeks for Open New Englands.
