Looking back - Sept 1983

 

40 years ago: Sept 1983 – I kicked off my sophomore year at U-Lowell at the Dartmouth Invitational (Hanover, NH 09/17/83) with a sixth-place finish over the 5.8 mile course in 29:50.  Although we managed to put our top 7 all within 1:09 we couldn’t catch Dartmouth (37 points).  On this cool and rainy 50-degree day we finished in 2^nd place with 77 points.  The following weekend we took part in the Holy Cross invitational in Worcester MA.  I took fourth place in 26:50. Greg Hale (RI) won in 26:29.  Our squad took the victory with 47 points while BC and Brandeis tied for 2^nd with 55 points.
