We have a few races to report on this week, including the Ashland Harvest Run, the Liberty University Triathlon, and the Baltimore Half Marathon. As race season winds down and many of our athletes are finishing out their peak races, we just want to again congratulate all athletes racing! Don’t forget to speak with your coach over the next few weeks and decide what your 2019 race season will look like and how to gear up for off-season training! Let’s get started on this weekend’s races!
Emily Kontos completed the Liberty Triathlon Olympic race with a huge PR of 20:00 (mostly coming from crushing her swim). Christian Locke competed in the Draft Legal race at the same event; he executed his race plan well, and finished the race with a strong run. Alex Tan had a strong race as well, placing 14th overall.
Jax Bethel completed the Baltimore Half Marathon in a time of 1:49
Dennis Kao participated in the Tuna 200 Mile relay race run this weekend, running a total of 15.4 miles.

Alexandra Poole and Hope Frost both took wins in their races. 8th graders Josh Gray and Caroline Osenga took 11th and 13th respectively in the JV District Championship. Caroline set a course PR. Cooper Albright raced twice this week putting down strong times in both.
Presley Evans, Jake Dysart, Caleb McCaskill, and Rex Nguyen all had strong races at the NICA Bedford Hills mountain bike race.
