Individuals

John Drappi and Jon Gilman both validated their top 10
rankings with comfortable wins in their respective
divisions at the Wachusett Invitational.  Gilman’s
teammate Hallquist has had an up and down season but
ran well at Wachusett.  The big story at the meet was
the huge breakthrough by Tim Creedon of Wachusett.  He
was surrounded by St Johns (S) runners and battled
them the whole way and eventually beat all but Drappi.

Teams

Teams

St Johns (S) dominated as expected at the Wachusett
Invite.  Their top 4 have been impressively consistent
all season and unless they burnout before the state
meet, they are going to be tough to beat.  There is a
30 second gap between 4 and 5/6 but the 5 and 6
runners are running well enough such that St Johns (S)
can beat Gloucester.  Still, gamblers who have bet
money against any Dunsky coached Gloucester team have
lost a lot of money.  What a race it is going to be in
the 12 degree slush on the mountain!
