November 1979

 Looking Back:

45 years ago – November 1979: I finished up my first year of cross-country at Billerica High running two races early in the month.  On Nov. 3 I ran the 2 mile D1 sophomore State Coaches race at Franklin Park.  I didn’t record my time probably because I finished 55th in a field of 150.  I was coming back from a badly sprained ankle and not really fit for racing, but XC is such a short season you’ve got to go.  Three days later I finished the season racing against Chelmsford in the JV race.  I took 6th place in the 2.6 mile race in 15:15 but took solace in the fact that I beat Chelmsford’s Keith O’Brien (15:27).
