Kate Cicchetti took first overall for the girls 7th grade race, Nicholas LaChapelle and Liam Murrichio placed 2nd and 3rd respectively in the boys 7th grade race, and Gabriel Diamante placed 4th overall for the boys 6th grade race. Nina Daponte, Payton Kane and John Sizer all earned medals for finishing in the top 20 in their races.
