Waterford High School cross country coach Chris Gamble wasn't the only one pleasantly surprised by his team's finish at the Wickham Invitational on Saturday.
The same could be said for Windham High School girls coach Becky Howard as her Whippets finished in sixth place overall in the unseeded race.
"I'm hoping so," Howard said when I asked her if it says good things for Windham for the rest of the season.
"We were hoping to get our number five runner to close the gap and she achieved that. I think we're getting more in shape, I just wish we had been in this kind of shape at the beginning of the season," Howard added.
Kristen Hurley and Marissa Sanders were tops for the Whippets as they placed in 31st and 37th places respectively.
Hard to believe but the cross country season is just about over with the last of the dual meets today. The Eastern Connecticut Conference championship will be held next Thursday at the Norwich Golf Course and the state championship races take place the following Saturday at Wickham Park.

Hello,
I really enjoy your blog.
I was wondering if you'd heard about www.takkle.com/rankings.
It's an online social networking site for high school athletes and sports fans.
Right now they're having a contest for the top 100 high school athletes.
If you go to the link you can rate players, view and upload movies, and interact with other users.
Just spreading the word. Thought it might be something you or your readers would like.
Keep up the good work!
