I want to thank everyone who ran for our Massapequa Race Team this year. There were many events of varying distances. We ran in all kinds of conditions. We competed against far superior Teams and placed often. We have our elite runners who we all admire and appreciate. We also have many members who never place in their age group but through their strong efforts contribute by completing the Team. If you did 1 race this year there were times where we needed you as much as those that did 10 races. We were able to field a Team at almost every Team event on LI this year. Maybe next year each person who did less than 8 will be able to join us for some additional races. Any suggestions you have to improve our Team please let me know so I can bring those ideas to the Board for discussion. We are always looking for additional Team members. Please have anyone who may be interested contact me for further information at WIRA001@aol.com
