XC Boys 5K Race
Tension and anxiety was visible as IASAS runners walked to the starting line in Manila Polo Club. IASAS parents and fellow Bearcats were enraptured and cheered passionately throughout the race. Some even brandished posters of their individual team members whilst cheering.
The 5K course was comprised of 2 big loops, all set in the grassy area of the tracks. The race started off strong as runners sped up on the field. As they were led away by bike, competition remained strong, with Josh D. of ISM leading the pack. Runners began evening out after the 1st kilometer, slowly grouping into around 3 packs of runners.
As runners reached the final stretch, Julian J. of ISB and Lucas B. of SAS began their kick towards the finish line, with Julian J. beating Lucas B. by 2 milliseconds. Both runners got 15:55 minutes. The 3rd placer, Aidan W., was 25 seconds away, finishing with a time of 16:21 minutes.
Out of the total of 41 finishing runners, the top 10 placers are the following: Julian J. from ISB, Lucas B. from SAS, Aidan W. from ISB, Cooper I. from SAS, Dylan C. from TAS, Ignacio C. from ISM, Michial A. from SAS, Zachary B. from ISB, Josh D. from ISM, and Tommy L. from ISM.
