After a couple of near misses Caitlin managed her first carnival win today on Trapp Family Lodge’s unforgiving new 5k course.  She battled it out with Rosie Brennan from Dartmouth throughout the course as they were seperated by only a handful of seconds at each split station.  In the end Caitlin’s final charge up the last climb proved to be the difference as she won by less then 2 seconds.  Her effort lead another strong showing by the Lady Cats.  Kat was eigth and Johanna, Mae, Mary, and Ellery were not far behind in 20th, 21st, 23rd, and 25th.  The depth of this group is great and we expect another great outing tomorrow.

The men struggled a little today with several people at less then a hundred percent.  Freshmen Cole Talbot paced the men with 16th place finish and Juergen and Alex weren’t far behind to close out the scoring.  Most of the guys feel a little more comfortable with classic right now so we should bounce back tomorrow.

All in all it was a good day.  There were 400 plus racers out there and tons of spectators to cheer everyone on.  Also no Catamouts went hungry as we had an army of parents bring tons of food.  Check back for pictures and more tomorrow….
