Week 2 Recap

Webster Park

Our boys performed as expected with easy wins over Brockport and Canandaigua and lopsided losses to Thomas and HF-L. Thomas took advantage of HF-L missing one runner and backing off after Saturday's big performance that vaulted them to #3 in the State Rankings for Class B, and beat them, 26-30, with three runners under 17 minutes.

Our girls also split their meets, as expected; however, we only lost to HF-L by the score of 27-30, as their big 3 finished ahead of Alaina and they slipped 4-5-6 in ahead of Natalie and Sarah. And Thomas came a little closer than expected. Canadaigua sat some girls and HF-L backed off from full speed, but the net result was that Canandaigua still won, with their decided dual meet advantage over HF-L (although they finished just behind HF-L in the VVS merge, they would have won a dual meet, 25-30). Val and Amanda earned spots #9 and 11 on the "Internet Era" all-time best at Webster Park. Meghan McCormick's winning time was the 4th best.

Black Creek

Irondequoit showed their strength by out-Sutherlanding Sutherland. Their top 5 finished within 24 seconds of their winner, Eric Bigenwald. Sutherland, ranked 15th in Class B, could only manage 3 runners in that gap. Fairport also managed to edge Sutherland, 27-28, by sneaking 3-4-5 in ahead of Sutherland's 4th. So, they seem to be better than expected.

In the girls race, Irondequoit's new star, Tiffany Tate, won the race over Georgia Tuttle, with both of them breaking Brianna Deming's course record, but Irondequoit couldn't get a 5th girl to the line for another 3:18, allowing Fairport to displace for a 28-29 victory and go 4-0 on the day. Irondequoit's 1-2 punch was also not enough to beat Sutherland.

Center Park

Victor's boys set the tone of the day, with a 27-28 win over Brighton. Their 5th man beat Brighton's 5th by just 2 seconds, as Brighton and Victor combined to take 16 of the top 20 places. MJ Erb's win was the 5th best time on this course.

And the Victor girls followed up with a 27-30 win. Although Brighton went 2-3-4, Victor grabbed the next 5 spots to get the win.

Mendon East

R-H took the day off after Saturday's race, only running Mickey Burke from among their leaders, but still won easily. Travis Jordon of Gates got the individual win.

The girls race was similar to Saturday's merge results between R-H and Penfield, although in slower times, as both teams seemed to leave something in the tank (or were too spent from Saturday). R-H bunched 5 ahead of Penfield's 3rd, for a 25-32 win. Katie Lembo and Leila Mantilla tied for the win in a respectable 19:46, which is still well off of their capabilities.

Northampton Park

Hilton ran well up front in the boys race, but they could not match Mendon's depth and Mendon won 26-31, to sweep the day.

In the girls race, Allison Hallock and Krista Roncone outkicked Hilton's Haley Keene, to give Mendon a comfortable 21-36 win over Mendon.
