What kind of day did the Accelerators have yesterday? Well 14 kids ran there first cross country race. 7 had their All-Time Personal Best and another beat the time that was run last year on the Herget course. Of the other 5 runners, three were close to there best running. In addition, we ran 3 scoring teams. You can find results on our web page (www.acceleratorsrunning.com/2024-race-results/). ![]()
