Whitman-Hanson @ Duxbury

 All we've asked for this season is improvement.  Coming into the fall of 2024 we understood the Patriot League is a very strong league which would present a young, inexperienced team with challenges.  Wins would be at a premium, so team success would suffer.  But with individual improvement, each athlete has an opportunity for what I've always termed, a "little victory."  and this season has provided improvement and loads of "little victories" every . . . time . . . out.  

We've had three home meets on the Burrage course, and the improvement we looked for speaks for itself as we faced (in order) Marshfield, Silver Lake and Hingham. Note DNS - Did Not Start (due to illness or injury)

We've had two away meets.  First, we traveled to Plymouth North on 9/24, a tough 2.9-mile course, and then Duxbury on 10/9, an even tougher and longer 2.95-mile course, and again, you can see the dramatic improvement:

Even taking into account the fact the Duxbury course is both longer and more difficult than the Plymouth North course, 23 of our 27 runners who competed in both races, improved.  As we come to the end of the dual meet portion of our season, we have a lot to proud of, and quite a bit to look forward to in the seasons to come.  2024 may not have produced a lot of team wins, but those "little victories" I spoke about, along with the smiles of a great group of kids, were plentiful.
