WRC Heading for Boston
The B.A.A. Weather Coordinator appears to have done well this year with getting the temperature under control. We are looking at a high in the upper 50’s. WRC is fielding teams in the both the women’s and men’s team competitions.
The WRC Women’s Team is comprised of Emily Buzzell, Rachel Clattenburg, and Raquel Morgan. The WRC Men’s Team is comprised of Drew Killian, Brian Savitch, and Mark Wright. Other Sunday Distance Run regulars running in Boston include Alan Pemberton and Max Lockwood.
As best we can tell, the club last fielded scoring teams at the Boston Marathon back in 2007 (summary). Historically, the club has finished as high as 2nd in the Men’s team competition back in 1977 (article), and won the Women’s team competition in 1983 (newsletter); all of which is notably before the obtainable records of past team champions.
The WRC singlet is packed. More to follow from Boston. Good luck to everyone!
