Double Bronze at New England XC

The GBTC open men and women both secured third place finishes at the New England Cross Country Championship on November 18th. The women's race was extremely close, with merely 20 seconds distinguishing GBTC from 2nd place BAA. Meanwhile, the men's team finish was more secure, yet an average finishing time of 32:43 for our top five shows promise for the upcoming National Club Championships in Ohio on December 8.
