At the Races

The Ragged Mountain Cup

September 4, 2007

The 22nd running of Central Virginia ’s kickoff X-Country event went off in grand style out at beautiful Panorama Farms last week.  Over 420 (a record) harriers from 16 of our area schools participated over the two mile course and several CTC members fared well in their first race of the season.  Gavin Ratcliffe, Holly Rich, Sam Berry, Lauren Hite, Adrian Sitler, Bethany Coppock, Eric Smith, Ben Post, Erin Thorpe, Kylie Thorpe, Hilary Wayland, Clair Johnson, Joe Souter, Andrew Jennings, Mark Castle, Ted Lichtenberger, Andrew Fickley, Ashley Lounsbury, and Emily Balcke all had excellent 2007 debuts.

I was supported by a virtual army of CTC volunteers who helped the event run smoothly.  Al and Joanne Rogol, Bob Wilder, Frances Hersey, Jim Bell, Tom Scala, John Lloyd, Dan Monohan, Carol Finch, Chip Hopper, Phoebe Frosch, Heidi Johnson, Cynthia, Audrey and Annie Lorenzoni, and Erin and Alice Wiggins.
