10/29/2022	3:30pm	St. Paul s/Winsor @ SPS	Away
Exeter raced St Paul’s School and Winsor School on a beautiful fall day in Concord, NH. A very strong runner from Winsor, Meg Madison, won the race , 90 seconds later came all five scoring Exeter runners in a row: Tenley Nelson, Melani Dowling, Kayla Hyett, Sophia Green and Hawley Dick, all finishing between 20 and 22 minutes. This impressive display came in spite of our #2, #3 and #5 runners being out with illness, and our race plan to run “tempo pace.” Several of our runners ran lifetime personal bests on this beautiful and rolling course. Exeter’s JV team likewise won the JV race over Winsor, 19 to 37.

Lower Kayla Hyett was about 25 yards behind Andover’s second runner as they entered the finishing straight, and Kayla lifted into a sprint for the ages, passing the Andover runner just before the finish line. In the JV race, upper Andrea Nystedt continued her upward trajectory by winning the race, followed by teammates Tate Kelly and Phil Avilov. The two races ran combined but were scored separately.
