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.
