PARSIPPANY-TROY HILLS — Parsippany Express Cross Country (PECC) runners proved their versatility during week two. Cross country running is a sport that embraces the changing seasons, and the runners on this team proved their merit, braving increasing humidity and a muddy path. In fact, despite Mother Nature’s challenges, 28 runners achieved personal best times!
In all, 55 PECC team members raced this past Sunday, in the 18 team strong Lakeland Junior Cross Country League that meets weekly at Morris County’s Central Park. Parsippany boasted 6 Top-20 finishers, and set a new PECC record, as 4 runners made the league’s weekly top 10.
