BEST PERFORMANCE:  This weeks award goes to the Varsity, led by John Traugott and Tim Simko who steeped it up and ran with some of the best competition on the east coast.  Also Ryan Harmon deserves a mention for running a time that is a top ten performance in school history.

MEDAL COUNT: Adding the 7 won this week, brings the total to 19.
