Wayland XC Festival

This year, rather than competing in the 3K for his 11-14 age group, Robbo chose to run in the open 5K race to better prepare for the 4K race in the upcoming JO competition.

He ran very well with a time of 18:47, finishing 32nd among some very tough and elite x-country runners. He placed 4th within the 19-and-under age group.

Race for the Cure - Boston

Wearing her pink hat and running in memory of Lynne, Robbo ran in his first Race for the Cure last weekend. Out of a field of thousands of runners and walkers, he came in an amazing 22nd place!! His time for the 5K was a personal best of 18:52. Here is a video of parts of the race:

New Course Record

This afternoon was the first meet of the season for the Stony Brook Middle School cross country team. They came up short against Carlisle Middle School, finishing 1-3 but the Carlisle team filled the rest of the top eight places.

Rob showed great improvement over his last year's time, running a 12:03 -- cutting well over a minute off of his time and blasting away the old course record of 12:38!

The kid loves to run...

The Hardware!

Yeah, go ahead and smile... you earned it!

Medalist in 3K!!

Robbo made it to the medal stand with a 7th place finish in this morning's 3K race! Fighting through a cramp that hit about a mile into the race, he gutted it out to a 10:21.17 finish. So not only is he a fast runner, he's also a tough one, too.

Congratulations, Robbo! A great finish to a fantastic outdoor track season!!

10th Nationally in 1500M!

Robbo ran a great race this morning, finishing a strong 10th place in an amazing race of elite runners! He ran a 4:40.51, eleven seconds faster than his previous best time. Below is a video of the race:




Congratulations, Robbo!! Next race is Saturday morning, 3K.
