The team ran tough in the mud, wind, and rain at club cross country nationals on Saturday! Times were slow across the board due to the crappy conditions, but the team ran:

Dave Herbert – 37:25 (452nd)
Jack Erickson – 38:15 (503rd)
Matt Roberts – 39:06 (532nd)
Matt Palmer – 39:58 (558th)
Kraig Connor – 42:20 (597th)

Well done everybody!

Mike Insler, who was making his triumphant return to racing cross country for RKR, unfortunately strained his calf and did not finish. Wishing him a speedy recovery!

Results are on Leone Timing. Photos can be found here. Many thanks to Chelsea Connor for standing out in the cold wind and rain and taking these!

Editor’s note: the Syracuse half marathon was the latest race in the USATF Grand Prix series. RKR sent a contingent of men and women and had a great showing. Ruth ran a huge 8-minute personal best, so I asked her to write a race report for everyone’s reading enjoyment. Read all about her experience on the RunTuff website!
