Upstate Cross-Country

Our next race is at Vernon-Verona High School, a 6k beginning at 11am on Sunday, November 9. Here is a course description, courtesy of Frank Q.

"I love the Verona course out of all of them this is a true cross country course. There are no major hills but lots of ups and downs with many turns. It is mostly in the woods."

Team FF Vet men are in 3rd place in the series with 9 points. GVH has 16, High Noon 14, Syracuse 5, GVH2 2points and Buffalo Checkers 2pts. Best 4 races count, top 3 teams win awards, the FLCC race points are doubled. We need to look out for and beat Syracuse and Buffalo runners, though I also think our #3-6 runners need to step it up a bit and close on any High Noon guys we see in the race. I have let myself get beat by some of those guys by less than 20 seconds and need to show some guts in the last 1/4 mile of races.

Individually the top 10 vet men get awards. Dennis has 41 points and is in the top five, Frank G has 10 points and close to the top 10. In SuperVet the top 3 get awards, Dick W. has 20 points and Pete L has 17.

Masters women top 5 get awards, Jan has 9 points, probably not enough for top 5. In SuperVet Eileen has 17 points and top 3 get awards. She also is not yet in the top 3 I believe.

For team and individual awards you must run in at least 4 races and FLCC is double points. If our team wins one of the top 3 spots, our top 8 scoring guys get awards.
