An evening of hills at Lynn Woods

For runners at the latest installment of the Lynn Woods summer cross country races on Wednesday, it was a night of going up and down hills … sometimes more than once.The hills of Steel Tower and Stone Tower both got visits from runners on a day that felt just a bit less stifling, weather-wise, than last week and its heat wave.In the short race, a 2.49-mile course up Steel Tower Hill via the Goat Path, Caleb Evanter of Marblehead won in 15:27, followed by Rick Provost of Beverly (16:06) and Aaron Gautreau of North Reading (17:39).

The top female finishers, Katie Cooper of Marblehead (37:06) and Katia Bertoldi of Somerville (37:15), finished 11th and 12th overall, respectively.The top finishers in the Kids Race (1.59 miles) were Luke Chase, Reading, 10:54; Matthew Brown, Nahant, 12:46; and Meghan Carney of Peabody, 13:16.
