The team did grow, this year, and repeaters improved their previous times, but our top four clenched the win with awesome times: Kevin Howard (5:43, 10th overall), Jeremy Boldt (6:17, 38th overall), Carey Wheelhouse (8:00, 36th in women), and Anne Wildermuth (8:12, 46th in women).

Team captain Melissa Dorr said, \u201cI am really proud of our team. We trained hard and performed well on the day of the competition. I hope even more people will join us next year. It is truly a great team building activity as well as an excellent way to get in shape. I\u2019m excited to be back-to-back champions and look forward to a three-peat next year!\u201d<\/p>\n
