On Wednesday, September 18, Brian Gall ‘23 and Danny Gall ‘23 finished sixth and 10th, respectively, for the St. Luke’s Cross Country team in the first FAA race of the year.
Brian recorded an excellent time of 17:19.3 over the 5k course at Sherwood Island State Park in Westport. Twin brother Danny was just seconds behind, with a time of 17:55.7.
The Storm runners were the two fastest freshmen in a field of 114 boys, with senior Jamie Ullman finishing next for St. Luke’s, in 41st place, with a time of 19:43.2.
Head Coach Corliss Spencer was impressed with the Galls: “ Brian and Danny’s mile splits were 5:32 and 5:33, respectively. Comparing that with their final pace per mile times of 5:34 and 5:46 reveals just how great these results are.”
