It has been about 20 years since the Auburn Pulsars hosted a cross country race for the Pete Glavin XC series. With the help of the team and other volunteers, it turned out to be a great success.

Over 200 competitors made the trek to Everest Park in Owasco, NY to compete in the second of five races in the series. Every team put men and women of all ages on the line and comments from the competitors and race organizers were nothing but praise!

The day was a perfect day, about 60 degrees and sunny with a slight wind. The course had dried up some with some deep mud puddles left from the summer of rain.

The course record was set by Checker’s Ben Cardamone in a blazing 15:44.

Here were the results of the Pulsars:

• 18. Eric Stermer – 17:12
• 21. Greg Stowel – 17:23
• 33. Chris Mason – 18:28
