Gibbs finishes 9th
There are four divisions in New England Prep Cross Country. At the divisional championships, the top 20 finishers qualify for the All-Star Meet. By virtue of his 6th place finish in the Div. III Championship last week, Pomfret School senior co-captain Jeffrey Gibbs ’20 qualified for the recent All-Star Meet.
Thirty-five qualifiers toed the starting line for the 4,910 meter race. Gibbs ran his signature style, letting the rabbits go at the start and stalking them down, Jeffrey moved up, especially on the uphills where he excels, from 14th place at the 1st mile to 12th after the 2 mile mark, before finally sprinting past one runner in the final 10 meters for a terrific 9th place finish.
