Once again, weather conditions at the LCCC meet were typical for Labor Day Weekend: oppressive heat and high humidity. That, combined with a notoriously slow course, did not allow for any record times. However, this did not stop the Wildcats from sweeping all 3 races.

The Wildcats varsity won the Maroon division with 35 points. Leading the way once again was Jack Miller 16:37 and next were freshmen Luke Wagner 16:52 and Tim Trentel 16:54. Rounding out the top seven were Vince Bartram 17:09, Joe Arquillo 17:16, Elliot Thorkelson 17:17 and Pat Scanlon 17:30.

The junior varsity race generated the most excitement of the day with Jack Fitzgerald and Tom Sullivan running neck and neck and both finishing in 17:41, with Jack Fitzgerald winning the race overall. The JV squad had a perfect score of 15 in winning its race!

In the Open Race, Jack Politowicz led wire to wire, finishing in 18:03. He was followed by Sean Sovacool 18:21, Pat Politowicz 18:34, Sean Williamson 18:39, Greg Miller 18:41, Liam Farrington 18:46 and Matt Paponetti 18:52.
