OP XC Take on Shore Coaches

Casey McKee, Staff Writer

Oratory XC had another accomplished weekend down at the Shore Coaches Invitational Meet in Holmdel, NJ.  When the team showed up, the weather was rainy and cold as usual.   To start off the day, JV was led by Mark Trella, Chris Kelly, and Chris Kraemer.  They placed third out of 14 teams in their race.  After a great race from JV, varsity ran.  They were missing 3 of their top 4 runners, Corey Vita, Brendan Mooney, and Jake Noss.  Although they were short handed, Strong performances from Casey McKee, Addison Drone, and Mike Cantaluppi lead the team to a nice showing of the course and finished 10th out of more than 20 teams.  Finally, after their SAT, Richard Gilman, Corey Vita, and Brendan Mooney made the trek down to Holmdel.  Corey Vita and Brendan Mooney both ran about 18:40’s in the race to complete a solid showing from the team this year.
