-Run-A-Thon final count of laps over 16 hours = 632, or 158 miles, just shy of 10 miles/hour! Hope everyone had fun, made some new friends and oh yeah, got some good running in!   Check out some pics from the Run-A-Thon on our MCHS XC Facebook page or Joe Civello's flickr page LINK


Also, I would like to acknowledge and thank the MCHS PAB association for supporting MCHS Athletics by supplementing our uniform and equipment expenses; we couldn't get to 1/2 of our competitions without them (and of course, the support of our parents)! -Please support this organization at www.mchspac.com  if you are not a member already, sign up for only $25 individual annual membership!
