Last Saturday was the Bernie Magee Classic meet for our OP Cross Country team. The team competed against 55 other schools and over 3,000 other individual competitors. Our Oratory boys raced in 4 separate races. Junior Boys, Senior Boys, Sophomore Boys, and Freshman boys. Altogether, combining our top 7 from the four races, we placed 12 out of the 55 schools, beating out powerhouses like Seton Hall, Bergen Catholic, and Saint Peter’s Prep. The competition stood no chance against our quick feet. While our runners were under terrible heat and smoldering sunlight, they pushed through, resulting in many PRs and even more impressive times. With this victory behind us, the team can look forward to Six Flags on Saturday.
