Winter Festival - 3 entries/3 medals!

Sydney wins the 1000!
Emma medals - 5th!
Kelly medals - 6th!

Coaches Moreau and Alves took Sydney Snow, Emma Guccione & Kelly Alves to the Holiday classic (THANK YOU FOR TAKING TIME FROM VACATION!) and despite competition from New York, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts, they each medaled!!  

First Kelly who was seeded 7th ended up with a toss of 32'4" to claim the first Holliston medal and move up to 6th and improve on her seed!

Next Sydney was in a race with 12 runners in her heat, and she and Mastreomatteo (top competitor in the race)  ran 1-2 for the first couple laps. Sydney passed her around 500 meters and ended up running out in front for the rest of the race and just missed breaking 3:00 with a 3:00:18 and 1st!

Emma was the last competitor from Holliston and had to wait til the final (fast) heat.  Around the first turn she was second to Alyssa Zee, but ended up getting boxed in with 60 meters to go.  In spite of getting stuck in between them, she still managed to place 5th out of 50 runners!  

Thank you to the coaches and Happy New Year!
