Lightning Strikes Twice For Course Record Holders at McQuaid Invite - Full Meet Recap




Girls Seeded A Individual

Notes: The rain started to fall as the first seeded race of the day took to the line.  As the gun let the runners go, Molly MacQueen took to the front and controlled the pace.  Unlike last week, Hayleigh Palotti didn't wait until the middle of the race to attack the lead.  Palotti put pressure on MacQueen, and the pair ran side-by-side for 2.5 miles.  In the final straight, Palotti kicked in another gear, and pulled away for the win.

Girls Seeded A Team

Notes: Who needs the experience on the course?  Maple Grove had three 8th Graders lead them to victory here.  A 40-second compression makes them dangerous in any Class, but was even more so in the varying race conditions at McQuaid.
