Cross Country Wrap Up
Godiva's Fall Cross Country Series returned in September for the first time since, as best we can remember, 1999. We had 41 participants who turned in a total of 88 performances. Eleven runners competed at each of the four Wednesday evening meets, and will receive their "letter in cross country" at the spring awards banquet:
- Don Anthony
- Aimee Bazin
- Jess Broglie
- Jim Clabuesch
- Joao Correia
- Chris Gould
- Jen Holloway
- Carolyn Huettel
- Rob McCauley
- William Schmitz
- Brian Tajlili
We used the Runners World Age Graded Calculator to rate performances across distance, age, and gender, where a score of 100 would correspond with a world record age/gender group time for the distance run. Here's the combined top ten list, based on their best overall age-graded performance of the season:
| Dream Team Member | Gen/Age |
kms | Time |
A.G. |
Date |
| David Couper | M 59 | 8 | 35:46 | 73.1 | 09/25/13 |
| Bart Bechard | M 48 | 8 | 33:05 | 72.1 | 09/25/13 |
| Chris Gould | M 69 | 8 | 40:38 | 70.5 | 09/25/13 |
| Owen Astrachan | M 57 | 5 | 22:33 | 69.3 | 09/18/13 |
| Lena Hollmann | F 62 | 5 | 28:49 | 69.0 | 09/25/13 |
| Craig Heinly | M 44 | 10 | 42:56 | 68.2 | 09/04/13 |
| Jim Clabuesch | M 48 | 8 | 35:32 | 67.1 | 09/25/13 |

| Tom Hoerger | M 54 | 5 | 22:59 | 66.3 | 09/11/13 |
Special mention should go to Brian Tajlili, who not only landed in the A.G. top ten, but turned in the overall fastest time in each of the four races he ran this year.
