The collegiate cross country scene in the US is hotting up right now. Colleges in their preparation for the Conference Championships enter their athletes in various “Invitational” events. Over the weekend two of our stateside athletes were involved. Maebh Richardson, who like her older sister Aoife, is a student in Portland Oregon. Her race at the weekend was the Nuttycombe Invitational in Wisconsin. There she placed 143 out of 247 athletes. Other sister Grace, representing New York, was at the Connecticut Invitational where she had a fab run coming home in second place from 183 athletes.
