Boys' Cross Country battles at Canterbury

With top runner Thomas Engel '20 out with a virus, and Tim Xi '22 suffering from an injury, the Blair boys faced quite a challenge on a tough, hilly Canterbury course. This past Saturday had 80+ degrees temperature and stiff competition in the Division I race.

Impressive for the Bucs was Aaron Gibson '20 with a personal record of 18:48, Tim Xi’s gutty 19:53, and a personal record produced by Patrick Plum '21 (20:48). Dylan Zhu '21 followed with a solid 21:22 clocking and Noah Bryan '20 (21:51) and Ben Liu '22 (21:54) pushed each other throughout the various loops. 

Blair did well considering the obstacles, resulting in a 10th place team finish.
