GRC to race Veteran's Day 10k

WASHINGTON, DC --

The Georgetown Running Company is set to race the Veteran's Day 10k on flat, fast Hains Point tomorrow. Arguably one of the fastest 10k courses around, Hains Point is a j-shaped out-and-back along the Potomac just opposite of Reagan National Airport. This race will serve as a great test for the USATF Club Cross Country squad, as all of our likely scorers are entered and ready to run hard.

Coach Jerry notes, "the men's team is led by Sam Luff, who is rounding into shape at just the right time. Sam will be pushed by Ryan Hanson and Ryan Witters, while Jerry Greenlaw looks to build some confidence going forward after a couple of solid weeks of training. I'm also looking for a big PR from the ageless Dave Wertz who is challenging for a spot on the A team at Clubs."

Coach Jerry adds, "the women's team has looked fantastic in workouts and will be strong from top to bottom. Anna Holt-Gosselin seems to have recovered from a minor injury that has limited her training and she is in a position to threaten her PR. Laura O'Hara and Susan Hendrick are also in PR shape, and Kristie Connelly is starting to regain her form and looks ready to push Laura and Susan. Maura
Carroll will be making her 10k debut, and will be right in the mix with her teammates."
