Three Sara(h)s lead the way. R-L: Sara Hall, Sara Slattery, and Sarah Schwald. |
All of the women in the 3000 field competed at the USA Cross Country Championships in New York City one week earlier, and six of them earned spots on the World Championship team. |
Sarah Schwald is now a member of the Boulder Performance Training Group and is coached by Brad Hudson. |
The early pace was relatively relaxed, which kept the whole field together. |
This was a home meet for Amy Mortimer, who lives just down the road in West Roxbury. |
