Just a quick note to point out that the GCC Cougar Invite results have been posted at TullyRunners: here. They were sourced from another site that, in addition to providing awful formatting, does not seem to have JV results, sadly.
In breaking news, the first XC poll is out and apparently beating Hilton in our league meet (which we allowed to be switched to their home course) is not enough to be ranked ahead of them. All 4 coaches participating in the poll voted us 10th. Here is the link.
If I were allowed a ballot, it would currently look like this:
1. R-H
2. McQuaid
3. Brighton
4. Mendon
5. HF-L
6. Wayne
7. Sutherland
8. Schroeder
9. Hilton
10. Victor
I think the voting coaches must consider invitational results to be more important than league results, which makes sense, given that Counties and Sectionals are not dual meets. So, they rationalized placing two teams that we beat when it mattered, ahead of us.

Section V Map is Weak
A bonus posting for today!
The course for tomorrow's race (and the Section V championship meet) has finally been posted, but the quality is very poor. So, I've reproduced the map on gmap-pedometer. I did not get it exact, but it gives a generally good idea of the course. I've saved it in "topo" mode, but you can switch to satellite to get a feel for the lay of the land. While in topo mode, do note the steep downhill (I think, Nate can read the map better, but he is asleep) just after 1.5 miles, followed by a climb back to start the final loop.
Here is the map.

Here is the map.
Sectional Preview Meet
Tomorrow we have the opportunity to race on the course that will be used for Sectionals. We'll be at Genesee Community College for the "GCC Cougar Invitational". The course is described as follows:
A challenging 5000 meter 2 loop course designed entirely on grass. Great for spectator viewing, start and finish are in the same area. Wooded trails and rolling hedgerows should provide variety for the runners. Spikes are recommended.
A map is supposed to be posted here after 3pm today.
The schedule is as follows:
10:30AM - Bus departs
1:30PM - Girls JV
2:00PM - Boys JV
2:30PM - Girls Varsity (7 only)
3:00PM - Boys Varsity (7 only)
Since there has not been a meet here before, they are allowing only 30 minutes between starts, and the start and finish are in the same area, I would not be surprised if they run behind schedule. Be prepared to start on time, but be ready to adjust as the races unfold. We should also be able to view the following races:
12:00 - Modified Girls
12:15 - Modified Boys
12:30 - Girls Varsity (Class B/C)
1:00 - Boys Varsity (Class B/C)
Bring adequate food/water/clothing to get you through the day.

What Happened To The Girls?
The girls team certainly showed a competitive side in yesterday's meet. With Hilton and Penfield safely out of reach (for now), the girls could limit their focus to Churchville-Chili. Despite a relatively quick first mile, when our pack found themselves amidst the CC pack of runners 3 thru 6, they decided to take the race into their own hands and run away from CC, never looking back. Although the scouting report from week 1, when CC also ran Parma, indicated a 26-33 loss was likely, the girls more than reversed that outcome and came away with a 22-35 victory. Props to Karen for leading the initial charge, and to Sarah for carrying on. But it was a real team effort, with Janelle, Katie and Ann all playing key roles in the outcome, and Alaina B showing that she is about ready to join the pack.
The boys got the job done is business-like fashion. The pedestrian first mile was just enough to entice Hilton's entire top 7 to come thru together, as Nico, AJ and Nate were content to tag along behind Tyler Eustance. By the midway point, Hilton's pack had started to break up, and Steve and Adrian were there to pick up the pieces.

Warriors Win!
I've been a slacker, in terms of the blog, this week, but I have a good excuse. This weekend, the Rochester Orienteering Club is hosting the US Sprint and Ultra Long Championships. As the current club president and registrar for the event, my time has been very tight this week. We have almost 300 participants coming in, from 23 different states (plus Ontario), and 4 countries. Back to this in a moment, but first:
Our first league meet of the year was a huge success! The girls got things done against Odyssey, and despite the lopsided losses to Rush-Henrietta and Irondequoit, 7 and 10 girls earned scalps against those teams, respectively.
The boys had a very nice night, picking up three wins. Since the Monroe Country web site only goes back to 2003, we are not yet able to determine the last time we beat Irondequoit, but beat them we did, thanks to Adrian's huge kick! And our win against Thomas was the first since Thomas became a complete high school again, in 2003.
I do need to point out that there are six other teams that we "have not beaten in recorded history". How many can we get this year? The other six are: Athena, Brighton, Fairport, Penfield, Sutherland, and Victor.
Back to Orienteering. Tomorrow's Sprint Championship will be held at Mendon Ponds Park, just across the street and north of the XC course we ran on Tuesday. Most of the top competitors in the country will be in attendance. Unfortunately, Nate has been ruled ineligible to compete for the championship, due to his familiarity with the terrain; however, he will be competing unofficially, going out shortly after the last official starter.
Sunday's competition at Rattlesnake Hill, outside of Dansville, is at the opposite end of the orienteering spectrum. While Saturday's Sprint will be won in under 15 minutes and require great speed, Sunday's Ultra Long will require great endurance, as the winner will take over two hours to complete the course. Nate is eligible to compete on Sunday, since it is a new map, and he's entered in the 18 & under age group (allowing him to run a shorter course prior to our next meet on Tuesday). Zach is also competing both days and is a favorite in the 14 & under age group.

34 Schum, Peter Irondequoit 19:42
35 Krawiec, Eric Schroeder 20:26
36 Bilsback, Evan Thomas 20:15
As you can see, we face a very large task the first week, against quality opponents. Based on the returning individuals, above, we obtain the following predicted scores:
R-H 17, Schroeder 44
Irondequoit 24, Schroeder 33
Thomas 26, Schroeder 29
Odyssey 27, Schroeder 28
The girls also face quality opposition. Here are the top ranked returning runners:
1 Deming, Brianna Thomas 19.93
2 Robinson, Jodi Rush Henrietta 20.12
3 Greiner, Lizzie Rush Henrietta 20.30
4 Colon, Christina Thomas 21.15
5 Cronmiller, Kristen Rush Henrietta 22.10
6 Putnam, Jessi Thomas

8 Westrich, Taylor Odyssey 23.07
9 Nadeau, Sarah Irondequoit 23.33
10 Hinton, Shavonna Thomas
11 O'Hara, Shannon Thomas 22.82
12 Mazzo, Melissa Thomas 23.08
13 Halpin, Molly Thomas 23.87

R-H 17, Schroeder 46
Irondequoit 26, Schroeder 29
Schroeder 27, Odyssey 29
Finally, Rush-Henrietta competed downstate at the Suffern invitational at Bear Mountain State Park. Results from that meet area available here. This is complete with Tully Runners' "Speed Ratings". The R-H Boys that ran were:
6 Brian Hotchkiss 12 Rush-Henrietta 16:42.02 164.0 164
12 Mitchell Haynes 12 Rush-Henrietta 17:08.26 155.2 155
17 Trevor Newton 12 Rush-Henrietta 17:22.20 150.6 151
25 Sam Brady 11 Rush-Henrietta 17:43.44 143.5 144
26 Ryan Lumb 12 Rush-Henrietta 17:45.37 142.9 143
And in the Sophomore race:
1 Colby Burke 10 Rush-Henrietta 16:53.96 160.0 160
2 Alex Raymond 10 Rush-Henrietta 16:59.01 158.3 158
3 Nate Kozyra 10 Rush-Henrietta 16:59.96 158.0 158
4 Andrew Sweeney 10 Rush-Henrietta 17:02.25 157.3 157
So, they could easily put their top 5 runners within 20 seconds of Hotchkiss, making them a tough team. For comparison to Mendon East, two years ago (when the course was not in awful shape), those speed ratings translated to:
164 = 17:18
155 = 17:44
151 = 17:58
Their top 4 girls are tough, here are the Suffern results for the girls:
6 Lizzie Greiner 10 Rush-Henrietta 19:42.37 105.9 106
8 Jodi Robinson 12 Rush-Henrietta 19:56.89 101.0 101
12 Kristen Cronmiller 12 Rush-Henrietta 20:24.73 91.8 92
13 Becky Greiner 10 Rush-Henrietta 20:35.83 88.1 88
33 Alana MacDonald 9 Rush-Henrietta 22:16.03 54.7 55
37 Becca Rogers 10 Rush-Henrietta 22:34.24 48.6 49
Those Speed Rating line up with the following at Mendon East:
106 = 20:27
100 = 20:42
92 = 21:10
88 = 21:21
1 Rousell, Jared Thomas 17:07
2 Looby, Ricky Irondequoit 17:31
3 Hotchkiss, Brian Rush Henrietta 17:25
4 DeClerck, Cole Thomas 17:40

Finally, Rush-Henrietta competed downstate at the Suffern invitational at Bear Mountain State Park. Results from that meet area available here. This is complete with Tully Runners' "Speed Ratings". The R-H Boys that ran were:
6 Brian Hotchkiss 12 Rush-Henrietta 16:42.02 164.0 164
12 Mitchell Haynes 12 Rush-Henrietta 17:08.26 155.2 155
17 Trevor Newton 12 Rush-Henrietta 17:22.20 150.6 151
25 Sam Brady 11 Rush-Henrietta 17:43.44 143.5 144
26 Ryan Lumb 12 Rush-Henrietta 17:45.37 142.9 143
And in the Sophomore race:
1 Colby Burke 10 Rush-Henrietta 16:53.96 160.0 160
2 Alex Raymond 10 Rush-Henrietta 16:59.01 158.3 158
3 Nate Kozyra 10 Rush-Henrietta 16:59.96 158.0 158
4 Andrew Sweeney 10 Rush-Henrietta 17:02.25 157.3 157
So, they could easily put their top 5 runners within 20 seconds of Hotchkiss, making them a tough team. For comparison to Mendon East, two years ago (when the course was not in awful shape), those speed ratings translated to:
164 = 17:18
155 = 17:44
151 = 17:58
Their top 4 girls are tough, here are the Suffern results for the girls:
6 Lizzie Greiner 10 Rush-Henrietta 19:42.37 105.9 106
8 Jodi Robinson 12 Rush-Henrietta 19:56.89 101.0 101
12 Kristen Cronmiller 12 Rush-Henrietta 20:24.73 91.8 92
13 Becky Greiner 10 Rush-Henrietta 20:35.83 88.1 88
33 Alana MacDonald 9 Rush-Henrietta 22:16.03 54.7 55
37 Becca Rogers 10 Rush-Henrietta 22:34.24 48.6 49
Those Speed Rating line up with the following at Mendon East:
106 = 20:27
100 = 20:42
92 = 21:10
88 = 21:21

Early Season Scramble
The Early Season Scramble was a very nice, low-key meet to kick off the season. Congratulations to our three T-Shirt winners!
The results are online now. The link for the Girls results should be here and Boys results should be here.
We do need some work on our pre-race and (especially) post-race routines, but we got the "race" part mostly right. The highlights were many, and we'll cover several of them at today's practice.

Gold Wins!
Today's tie-breaker went to Gold, with the Capture the Flag victory. Gold took advantage of no rules regarding flag placement, to come up with the creative under-the-bridge hiding spot.
I've started to compile the Top 25 times for Webster Schroeder runners at each course. After yesterday's Blue & Gold, here is the Top 25 at Webster Park:

Nice Workout Tonight
Climbing the steep part of the hill for the 3rd (or 4th or 5th) time must have felt painful, but I hope everyone took great pride in their accomplishment, once the workout was over.
I'm not immune to negative thoughts. I was saying to myself, "perhaps I should just time, since so many people forgot to bring watches, AGAIN!". It would have been a convenient excuse. But I knew that I would feel better after the workout, and, more importantly, I realized that this session is another key step in my training. Now, I can look back and feel good about knocking off another workout.
We don't have too many truly tough workouts left. Soon we will be starting the season, and be racing every Tuesday and most Saturdays, leaving just Thursdays to do real workouts. Next Thursday is actually our first meet, then there are only 6 workout Thursdays before Counties. Check those workouts off, one at a time, and see how much better you feel (and faster you run) at the end of the year!

2009 Monroe County Boys Individual Preview
Based on last year, plus what I saw during track season, expect a big gap between the Top 3 and The Best of the Rest this fall.
Seeing Alex Deir knock off Alex Brimstein in the Steeplechase at State Qualifiers last spring, left me with no doubt that he is the man to beat this fall. His HF-L teammate, Steve Mangan, and Adam VanVleck of Mendon appear to be the only runners in Monroe County capable of coming close to Deir.
Things are wide open after those 3. The following runners are listed in order of their 2008 XC rating. Some notes have been added next to those whose track performances (or lack thereof) may indicate a change in rating could be deserved.
| 1 | Deir, Alex | Honeoye Falls-Lima | 9:24 Steeple |
| 2 | Mangan, Steve | Honeoye Falls-Lima | 4:15 1600m |
| 3 | Vanvleck, Adam | Mendon | 9:30 3200m |
| 4 | Lipani, Lou | Arcadia | 4:27 / 10:09 |
| 5 | Rousell, Jared | Thomas | 9:48 3200 and 9:59 Steeple |
| 6 | Looby, Ricky | Irondequoit | No track? Sub-par Sectional run |
| 7 | Hotchkiss, Brian | Rush Henrietta | 9:54 3200 |
| 8 | Smolensky, Scotty | Brighton | 4:35, but only 10:13 |
| 9 | Gumina, Tyler | Penfield | 4:44/10:12 |
| 10 | Hoose, Kevin | Honeoye Falls-Lima | Big improvement 9:46 3200 |
| 11 | Eustance, Tyler | Hilton | 10:04 3200 |
| 12 | DeClerck, Cole | Thomas | Nice improvement 9:56 |
| 13 | Burke, Colby | Rush Henrietta | |
| 14 | Talpey, Greg | Brighton | Biggest improvement of top 25: 9:44 (and 4:31) |
| 15 | Coons, Joe | Brighton | |
| 16 | Newton, Trevor | Rush Henrietta | Nice improvement 10:01 (3200) and 10:04 |
| 17 | Sauln, Brad | Rush Henrietta | No track? |
| 18 | Wendel, Daniel | Mendon | No track? |
| 19 | Jones, Jesse | Brockport | Only 10:28 |
| 20 | McCullough, Ryan | Brighton | 4:37 |
| 21 | Zeccola, Andrew | Mendon | 10:26 3200 |
| 22 | Lyons, Nate | Schroeder | 10:07 3200 |
| 23 | Piacentini, Anthony | Schroeder | 10:10 Steeple |
| 24 | Kozyra, Nate | Rush Henrietta | 10:18 3200 and 10:16 Steeple |
| 25 | Reid, Kyle | Victor | 10:24 3200 |
| 26 | Mullen, Jake | Brighton | 10:04 3200 |
Nick Watson of R-H ran a 4:28 mile, in addition to his 1:59 800m, but did not appear in any XC results last season, so he could add to the team's already impressive depth. Andrew Pirnie of Hilton was also a non-XCer who ran 4:31.
Odyssey may be better than expected, as they had a couple of runners just outside the top 25, including Aaron Heckman, who ran 4:29.
