Milton Runners Participate in Bay State Cross Country Championship

On Saturday morning, October 29, the Bay State Conference held their annual Cross Country Championship at Norwood’s 5K rolling course.

While New England was waiting for the first pre-winter Nor’ easter coming up the coast, the Milton runners were huddled in their tent wrapped in blankets waiting for their event to start. The exceptionally cold morning was not quite what the runners expected along with a very muddy course. 

Milton fielded runners in both boy’s and girl’s events and the teams both would finish in ninth place in the team competition.

The following are the results of individual efforts.
