Saturday, Aaron Saft placed 3rd at the Continental Divide Trail 10k National Championships. Aaron's wife, Beth was 12th overall in the women's race. We should also congratulate Amber Moran (4th) & Anne Lundblad (10th) for their outstanding finishes.

Sunday, Jerad Crave won the Race to the Rock 5k up Chimney Rock. Also, Aaron Saft ran the trail runner leg of Tsali Relay Challenge posting the fastest time of the day. His team finished 3rd overall.

Cross Country Grand Prix Race #2

Grand Prix XC Race #2 was run under ideal conditions... cloudy skies & rain. The temperature dropped at least ten degrees for the start of the race. The turnout in the number of entrants was spectacular. We had 46 runners finish the 2 mile course, 13 of which were from the Carolina Day Boys & Girls Cross Country Teams.
Through the mud & puddles, Aaron Saft won the Men's race in 10:16 & his wife, Beth Saft, won the Feamle's race in 12:49. Rounding out the top three men were Tim Murray (11:20) & Trevor Sleight (11:24). Second in the women's race was Hannah Goss (15:04) & Chandler Tinsley (15:15).
Seventy-two year old Ben Eaton was the talk of the race finishing (running the entire race) in 25:38! I'm posting the overall results below.
Congrats & thank you to all who attended!
Race #3 is slated for Sept. 9th at The Asheville School. Stay tuned, this race maybe moved to another venue.
