There were perfect fall conditions at the Emerald City Classic, our second scored club xc event of the season! The women ran 5k (3 loops of a hilly, offroad course) while the men ran 8k. Highlights:

• Kalli Haverkamp led the LSRC women with a very strong performance in her first post-partum xc race!

• Rochelle Cox ran a solid race to almost tie her course PR from last year!

• Zhenya Ross debuted in her first xc 6k and absolutely crushed the hilly course!

• Joy Chan was just glad to be able to run after feeling unwell (vaccination side effects) the day before!

• Paula Murray had recently recovered from an illness and battled hard to overcome the course, never giving up!

• Mike Rossi led the LSRC men with a superb performance, placing in the top third of the men's race!

• Eric Edmond made a strong comeback over injury with his first xc race in 7 years, placing in the top half!

• Zach Fung ran a focused, consistent race to secure a massive course PR!

• Mike Nakles ran a solid first xc race this season after dealing with an injury earlier this summer!

• Andrew Ruchames joined for his first LSRC xc season and absolutely crushed it!

• Peter Averill ran a controlled race with his first time on this xc course! Great job!

Well done everyone! Full results can be found here: https://www.athletic.net/CrossCountry/meet/265591/info
