The men's race looked like a reunion of Foot Locker XC finalists. Mike Smith (Wachusett HS, James Madison U transfer, now at Georgetown) cracked the top 10, coming home 9th overall.How many Ryan Bousquets do you know? Shepherd Hill grad and Arizona State frosh (I think) Ryan Bousquet finished 106th against heavy competition.
Brookline HS and Stanford runner Jonathon Riley placed 3rd. Stanford, of course, is loaded once again. Louie Luchini, Maine HS'er and Stanford, was a lofty 9th. It is amazing how some athletes just keep improving.
