The only real "yesterday" part is that I did not have time to post anything about the McQuaid Invitational. Our top story there was that the girls pulled off a shocking 9th place finish in a loaded Large School seeded race, which included the top-ranked team in the country finishing second! We managed to be the third-best Section V team, behind our closest neighbors in the Section: Thomas and Penfield, but finishing ahead of Hilton, Fairport and Rush-Henrietta, and far exceeding our "tenth-best" Section V ranking. In the "merged" results (this is where they put all of the races together and pretend it was one race), R-H slipped by us as they had a ninth-grader finish third in the Sophomore race. She would have broken into their top five in the Varsity race, thus lowering their merge score.
This is where the Today part comes in, as fate would have it, our league meet against R-H is scheduled for today, and we will get a quick rematch of Saturday's race, just three days later. It should be an interesting race, and should include Kennedy Jensen, one of the top runners in the country (not just Monroe County), who was a precautionary last-minute scratch at McQuaid. We have not beaten Canandaigua since they entered the league in 2009, but have the opportunity to do so this year. Batavia and Eastridge are our other opponents.
On the boys side, McQuaid was a solid race, and we placed 9th in the unseeded large school race. The boys have not beaten Rush-Henrietta since 2005, and also have close competitors in Canandaigua, and even Batavia today.
Complete McQuaid results are available here.
For today's meet, we return to Center Park for the second time this year - it is located on Ayrault Rd, just east of Turk Hill.
