Andover Boys Win Home Opener against Choate
The Phillips Academy boys' cross country team raced their home opener against Choate Rosemary Hall on Saturday.
Captain Robert Budzinski ('26) and Charlie Gillick ('27) took the top two spots in the race, followed by Henry Zimmerman ('27), who ran a new personal best. Cameron Butler ('28) ran a massive 57-second personal best on the course to take fourth. He was followed closely by three more Andover runners finishing within 8 seconds of him—Alfonso Gonzalez-Cano ('27), who also ran a personal best time, and newcomers to the team Aaron Blanchard ('28) and Tiger Wang ('29). BXC won the meet 17-46.
Next weekend (10/11), Phillips Academy cross country will travel to St. Paul's School for a multi-team meet on their excellent course.
