Maybe it’s something about running in South Florida, or maybe the team is just good.
The Matanzas boys cross-country team cruised to a first-place finish over the weekend at the Key West Conchs XCursion race.
Matanzas finished with an average team time of 18:09. In fact, Matanzas’ No. 5 runner crossed the finish line before any other team’s No. 2 runner finished.
Leading the way was Drake Goodman, who took first overall in 17:35. Anthony Colasanti (3rd, 18:05), Liam Conville (4th, 18:10) and David Perez (5th, 18:11) all finished in succession following the second-place runner.
