Back to Basil

Sorry I haven't had time to write up anything about McQuaid yet. What an exciting day - the weather was unable to dampen my enthusiasm with the performances that I saw! For now, you can find complete results for 2011. And I will write more later.

Today's meet features a return to Basil Marella Park in Greece, site of our opening meet this year. You can find directions in the article that talked about the first meet. This time, the Girls run first, at 4:30, then the Modified race, then the Boys (probably starting between 5:15 and 5:25).

The girls race features the Fairport team that was ranked #14 in the state, going into McQuaid. We managed to beat them there, and I imagine they will be looking for revenge today. The Rush-Henrietta girls are outstanding - they were accidentally ranked in Class B last week, and they beat us by 49 points at McQuaid, averaging only 7 seconds faster per runner than us. The top runners:

Greiner, Lizzie Rush Henrietta 20:22
Sedita, Erin Fairport 20:29
Griffin, Tishae Rush Henrietta 20:40
MacDonald, Alana Rush Henrietta 20:45

Nortz, Heather Fairport 22:23
Butler, Sarah Athena 22:24
Ward, Brittany Athena 22:31

The R-H Boys are between big invitationals, but even their JV team is very strong. Fairport has a good group of runners and is ranked #8 in Section V. Athena is coming of a McQuaid Championship - winning the unseeded medium school race. So, we have 3 formidable opponents (Spencerport is a little down this year). Here are the top runners:
