PARSIPPANY — Parsippany Express Cross Country (PECC) stayed ahead of Sunday’s gale force winds, as Lakeland Junior Cross Country League opted to move the event to Saturday, October 28.
During week eight, 49 PECC team members participated in the event. Twenty-nine runners beat their own personal best records. Nine members of the running group placed in the Top 20 for their age groups.
It was another mild running day at Morris County’s Central Park, and the final race of the season in this league. Some of the team members have chosen to go on to participate in the 2017 USATF NJ Association Junior Olympic Cross Country Championships on Sunday, November 5 at Deer Path Park in Flemington. The top 15 runners in each age group will receive USATF Junior Olympic medals. All runners participating in this Sunday’s event are eligible to advance to the Region II Championships in Youngwood, PA on November 19.
PECC will continue to provide updates through the championships. Please keep these dedicated, young competitors in mind, as Parsippany runners strive for the top in the weeks to come!
