PARSIPPANY-TROY HILLS — Parsippany Express Cross Country (PECC) began the season with a record number of teammates – 69! The new year brought a new running course at Morris County’s Central Park, where the team practices and races. The building structures have been taken down, and in their place are new, challenging hills and a winding course.
56 PECC runners attended the season opening race, as one of 18 teams in the Lakeland Junior Cross Country League. PECC had a record 9 runners place in the Top 20 for their age groups.
Head Coach Tom Metz said, “I am so proud of everyone! All the kids should be proud of themselves! The hard work in practice produces the results in the races.Now we need to keep working hard during practice to improve on our times and team places.”
