BXC Returns to Exeter for Rainy Dual Meet
BXC returned to Exeter for the second weekend in a row for the annual Andover-Exeter dual meet. The rainy day of racing kicked off with the boys' 7-on-7 varsity race.
Leading the way for BXC was Cameron Butler (’28), who placed 5th in 16:45, followed by the pair of Devin Akyali (’29) and EJ Montero (’30), who finished two seconds apart in 6th and 7th at 17:11 and 17:13. Lincoln Strandberg (’30) placed 10th with a time of 17:39, followed by Sebastián Vermut (’27) in 11th at 17:52 and Gabriel Arroyo Cisneros (’30) in 12th at 17:57. Darin Young (’29) rounded out the varsity crew with a time of 18:39. BXC took second to Exeter with a final score of 18-39.
The JV boys were led by Alessandro Reverdito ('29), who placed 6th overall in 18:04, followed by a pack of five who took places 10-14—Teddy Frangakis ('27), Kalis McCoy (’29), Benedict Dwyer ('28), Matt Robinson (’27), and Colin Lee ('28). On a muddy day filled with a lot of slipping and sliding, one of the JV runners lost his necklace during a fall at the start of the race, but a pair of teammates, Waller Trice ('30) and Jonathan Xiao ('30), eventually found it in the grass much later in the meet and returned it to their teammate.
BXC wraps its season up next week across two different meets. BXC's top 19 will return to Exeter yet again next Saturday to race in the NEPSTA Division 1 Championships. All other BXC runners will conclude their season this Wednesday, Nov. 11, on the Great Lawn as part of the 248th Annual Springbok-Gazelle Intramural meet.
