NETT Women win GBTC invite! Drozdov wins men's title

In their first formal race together, the NETT Women's Team--okay well two women and two of their friends--took first place at the GBTC Invitatational XC Meet in Topsfield this weekend. Tina Wang finished 2nd overall in her first-ever XC race in 23:04. Deb Robertson, a friend of Tina's, was 4th in 24:31 and Dawn Mampremian and Laura Wieland finished together in 25:18. Special thanks to Deb and Laura for coming through at the last minute and completing the women's team score and running very well.

On the men's side, Dmitry Drozdov won the men's 8K(ish) race overall in a blistering time of 26:30, almost 30 seconds in front of the second-place runner. Paul Miller was the second NETT racer in 27:56, followed by DaveHannon, Paul Young, Dave Mingori and Frank Kjaersgaard. The men's team finished third, only five points behind BAA.

Full results of the race are posted here.
