Meet Summaries

Boys:  This is one of the 'youngest' boys team in the school's history, with 9 of the runners in their first 5k competition. They inaugurated their season, however, with a good team first effort and some excellent individual performances on the tough VVS course. With work and effort, this is a team on its way up. The boys JV provided some pleasant surprises with solid runs by Garrett Smith and Stephan Boatwright.

Girls: Potential has the been the word most associated with this year's girls squad. A first race-glimpse of that potential was offered at VVS as the girls raced to victory in their Varsity III race and placed 2nd overall at the meet. Elizabeth McMahon continued demonstrating Section III upper echelon ability as she posted the 4th overall best time of the meet and 2nd in her race. Exciting debuts were registered by a number of runners. Freshman Katie Rothenberg followed excellent varsity Indoor/Outdoor seasons as an 8th grader by establishing herself as the Section's top Freshman with a 7th place race finish and 17th overall in the 384 runner field merge. Another terrific first-effort(20th) came from freshman Sarah Kibby, who was followed closely by improving Stephanie McGrath(22nd). Much of the Wildcat's success was keyed by senior Erin Hennigan, who pushed the team pack through the first mile and placed 12th herself. All eight of the varsity runners placed in the top 30. Forced to run incomplete, the JV's were led by Katie Naton, who placed 19th in the large-schools race.

Meet Summaries

Boys:  The young boys team continued their improvements with some shuffling of top-7 runners and by lowering their 1-5 gap. It was a muddy, windy mess of a race on an already tough Belmont Plateau 5k course following a long wait in the bus, but both Varsity and JV squads took it in stride with a mudder's mentality.

Girls: Despite the absence of one the team's top-7(Betsy Bubnack-ankle injury) the girls ran well against some of the northeast's finest teams and came close to a very good NY Northport squad. The full force of the day's rain and wind hit a mile into the race, but the girls battled, with good carry-overs that picked up places. The team enjoyed two top-20 trophy finishes. Katie Rothenberg placed 17th in the elite field. Elizabeth McMahon went into the middle-mile hill loop in 14th place and came out in 4th, which she held to the finish for a superb race. The follow-pack of Erin Hennigan, Stephanie Bartlett, Sarah Kibby and Stephanie McGrath were separated by only 11 seconds and the 1:40 1-5 gaps was a distinct team improvement.

Outstanding Performances

Boys: Charlie Deragon/Tony Francher/Matt Kalwara
