The Kent course is a unique running challenge, with two significant hills and plenty of roots and rocks. It's actually a stunning spot on an October day, and the Kent crew does overtime work to mark and clear the trails. Despite our careful approach, we still suffered two sprained ankles, which was our #1 priority on the day. In terms of the race, Taft runners ran strong and carefully to take the first 7 spots - Charlotte Murphy, Kate Cicchetti, Rina Kurihara, Annabell Sorensen, Charlie Brodhead, Leyla Zhaksybek, and Lena Rukkas.
