Nick won the NH X-C Middle School State Meet today with a blistering 11:46 for 2.1 miles. He was around 5:30 for the first mile, behind the Tri-County champion who was looking very strong. However, Carlos tried a couple of surges to break Nick which appeared to backfire, and Nick kicked in the last 300 meters to the cries of "look at that kid go" in the audience around the finish line. A youngster from Oyster River came in strong for second. Justin Carbone took the Large School race in 11:52 (Nick's Granite State Flash Teammate).
Melissa ended up a bit disappointed with her finish (17th place?) at 15:34. She wasn't feeling great and this was only her third ever middle school race (she was 7th at Plymouth and 11th at Belmont earlier this year). She has two more years to move up...
