Short Notes from Gary Ledman
Gary was supposed to be our embedded reporter traveling with the team to give insightful and in-depth reporting on your JTCRunning Cross Country team and their performances. Unfortunately, he was usurped by a suitcase. Perhaps, if we do this again, we should include a roof-rack (for the luggage). Below is his brief race summary and the pre-departure note. Overall result can be found at USATF.org.
