Congratulations to both Erin O’Shea of Mascenic XC and Sully Sturtz of Keene XC as they are this week’s HOKA Athletes of the Week! Both competing in the dark at the Cheshire Fairgrounds at Monadnock’s Moonlight Madness, O’Shea won her first title there as Sturtz defended his. Erin O’Shea has had a strong season and that is just how she races, strong and steady. She employed the same patience and consistent strength as she steadily covered the course to win by 4 seconds in 19:17 leading her team to the win over D1 Keene.
Also a sophomore Sullivan Sturtz actually repeated as champion at Moonlight Madness. Coming off a stellar freshman campaign, one could have predicted this type of success. Like O’Shea, Sturtz’s win in 15:42 also led his team Keene to the win on the night.
Congratulations to both Erin O’Shea and Sullivan Sturtz, this week’s HOKA Athletes of the Week!
