Cross Country Speeds Past Charles River, Austin Prep
The cross country team kicked off its season at home on Tuesday with a commanding tri-meet win over Charles River and Austin Prep. Sam Leviton (14:35) and Kaden Flummerfelt (14:37) paced the Blue & Gold with their second and third-place finishes. Quinn Clark (14:58) also broke the 15-minute mark, making it a trio of Belmont Day runners in the top 5 with his fourth-place finish. Also of note were the times of newcomers Vatche Balikian and Edwin Voiland, who both broke the 20-minute mark in their first interscholastic race and knocked three minutes off of their personal best on the home course. The cross country team will be back at it next week with a showdown against Fenn and Nashoba on Wednesday. Bring your cowbells!
