The offseason and winter has not slowed down our cross country team as they have competed in numerous tournaments since Christmas. It started on Friday, December 27th, as a small group of NHTI runners traveled down to the 'Night at the Track' at New Balance in Boston to jump into an open night meet. Jacob Kantz ran a 1:00.71 in the 400m, Coach Graham Hayslip ran a 5:36 mile, and Eli Lemire ran a 2:00.78 800m to take 3rd in his event and secure his 800 meter PR. 

 Two days later on Sunday the 29th Eli again traveled to New Balance in Boston to race in the Winter Classic, where he ran 4th in the open 5k in 15:47 and got his 5k PR.

Three days after that on New Year's Day, Eli struck again at the Millennium Mile in Londonderry, where he ran a net time of 4:23 (1st for net times). Some of you may have seen the clip on social media where Eli was able to take the lead and start his kick towards the finish line.
