Tomorrow is the Monroe County Championship meet. It is at Penfield HS, starting at 10am. The order of events is available in the Meet Information document.
I believe all scratches had to be completed earlier today, so the current Performance List should have the final entrants for each race.
If the meet flows smoothly, here are my best estimates of the starting times for the distance events. Please note that these could be off by some margin, in either direction.
10:35 - 2000m Steeple (assumes 22 runners in 1 heat)
10:46 - 3000m Steeple (20 runners; 1 heat)
11:34 - 1500m (29; 2)
11:49 - 1600m (36; 2)
[12:15/12:23 - 400m]
12:33 - 3000m (31; 2)
12:59 - 3200m (51; assuming 2, but there should be 3 with this total)
[1:27/1:37 - 400IH]
1:47 - 800m girls (26; 2)
1:55 - 800 boys (34; 3)
2:48 - 4 x 800 girls
3:00 - 4 x 800 boys
The JV County Championship results are available for both Boys and Girls. More to come on those fine season-ending performances.

Division I Champs!
Apparently it is not yet official, since yesterday's D&C reported that our Boys Track team's record is 6-1, but with another exciting win over Penfield yesterday, 76-65, I have been told that we are actually 7-0 and have won the Division Championship. What an unlikely feat for a team that was expected to struggle to finish above .500!
The story is that R-H (unknowingly) had an ineligible athlete competing on their team, and was forced to forfeit the meets in which he was a competitor. One of those was against us, so our lone loss will be wiped, giving us the clean slate and the Division title.
The win was very impressive, given that we decided to rest AJ, as a precautionary measure, to ensure that he is healthy for the Championship season. Some fine distance performances were turned in, with Justin M winning the 400, Ben F and John W placing second and third behind Tyler Gumina in the 1600, a pair of Justins going 1-3 in the 800 and Geoff and Adrian scoring the 1-2 punch in the 3200.
Justin M almost came back to clinch the meet with a strong anchor leg in the 4x400, but the suspense lasted one more event until John W, Justin R and Ben F gave Geoff a huge lead in the 4x800 relay.
Now it's time to get ready for the Championship season. Over half of the boys distance team will compete in the JV Championships at Rush-Henrietta on Thursday, with the Girls JV Champs to follow on Friday at Hilton. Information on the Varsity Championship meets will follow in the next article.

Royal Comet
This is too late to be useful to anyone except me, but here is a link to the Royal Comet meet info, including the order of events.
The meet starts at 10am today, with the Steeplechase. After the high hurdles, they run the 3000/3200, then the 4x100 and 4x400 before the 1500/1600 and Tanski mile. Then: 100, 400, IH, 800, 200, 4 x 800, Sprint Medley (no DMR at R-H? That's a surprise...)

Blog Down
I can't post live, so I'm trying via e-mail.
A very nice win over Fairport on Tuesday. Almost everything went our way, allowing us to rack up 86 points. One last dual meet on Monday, against Penfield, but in the meantime, we have a busy weekend with the JV meet on Friday and the Royal Comet Invite on Saturday. When the blog comes back up, I'll post the link to the meet info.

Last Week
So, I made my first trip to Hilton Head Island last weekend. I hope it's not my last, as it was an excellent experience. It didn't hurt that my cousin arranged her wedding in some great environs, with fantastic food and plenty of guests that I don't get to see often enough.
As you can imagine, a rushed trip is not conducive to catching up on blogging, so I'll have to provide more links and less writing today! First up is this entertaining article on last week's meet at Rush-Henrietta, featuring Amanda's unique situation:
Paratore wins 3,000m in bizarre fashion
I quickly found two factual errors in the article. Are there others? Be the first to comment with the errors and win accolades!
I don't know if it's part of the article, but when I went to the link, I got bonus content of the photo of Val and Amanda leading the way up the hill at Webster Park in last fall's meet against Thomas and Hilton (and Arcadia).
And of course, there was this photo in the D&C when I returned last night:
Great performances by the distance team can be seen in the full Cadet Classic results.

Deadbeat
Yes, I still owe a write-up of the meet at Rush-Henrietta on Tuesday. The punchline is that we beat Victor and Irondequoit (but lost to R-H) to improve to 4-1 on the season.
Good luck to the team this weekend at the Runnin' Cadet Classic (and to the JV folks at Irondequoit)! The Glavin 3000/3200 should be exciting. And I am a fan of the XC Steeplechase race.
