Milford High School Cross Country

Congrats go out to the 11 die-hards (including 3 MHSCCers and Ol' Bloomie) who completed Seaford High CC's inaugural Survival of the Fittest event -- a collection of seven track events totaling 7 miles. Seaford track alum Jamie Parks won the men's overall in just over 40 minutes, edging out Smyrna and Wesley CC alum Matt Lindell who couldn't make up a 13-second difference in the final event -- 3200 meters. Ol' Bloomie took third with a 44:01 holding off MHSCCer Jon "Pre" Luiken who won the 100, 200 and 400, but couldn't get enough lead to overcome Bloomie's 20:12 5K (to Luiken's 21:25). Luiken scored a slight edge in the 1600 (5:54 to 5:56), 800 (2:44.2 to 2:45) and 3200 (13:08.5 to 13:08.9), but finished 55 seconds behind in 44:56. MHSCCer Christian "Playa, Playa" Dubsky got a big boost with a sub-30 5K and finished 7th in 64 total minutes, just behind Racin' Rob Perciful of Seaford High coaching fame and Seaford CC alum Donald Abrams. Senior MHSCC teammate Dashin' Dana Rathfon scored several sprint wins and made a killer comeback in the 3200 to finish second overall for the ladies in just over 70 minutes.
