Meet Summaries

Boys:  This was a shake-down meet for the young boys team as they looked to determine the effectiveness of their summer and pre-season training. They entered the meet without two top-7 runners and another feeling the effects of a slight illness. No matter. Hoping for a top-5 finish, the team did one better, placing 4th. Deep with underclassman, the team found its start with the strong front-running of freshman Steve Houghmaster, who placed 7th overall. He was followed by a pack of Wildcats--Garrett Smith, Ron Ta, Tom Hopkins, Sam Reedy--who finished with a 15.1 second gap and signaled that the season ahead will be an exciting one for this emerging Wildcat group. That excitement continued for the JV's. Led by Ben Seigal, these 'cats packed in also, running a 31.4 second 1-5 gap and placing all scorers in the top 22 to capture 2nd place in their 13 team field.

Girls: Like the boys, the girls were itching to get on a course and determine what the summer mileage and August team practices could produce. They found out with a first place effort that feature many fine performances. Defending individual Section III champion Elizabeth McMahon put her stamp on the race--and perhaps the season--early as she pulled away from the field in mid-race to run the fastest girls time of the meet and earn the Outstanding Female Performer trophy. Despite an off-day by Katie Rothenberg, the girls placed all their scorers in the top 17, with an especially strong performance by Sarah Kibby. Not to be outdone, freshman neophyte Katie Bott raced to a first-place victory in the JV race in leading that squad to a 2nd place finish and a demonstration of the girls' team improved depth this season.

Meet Summaries

Boys:  The boys got off to a rough dual meet start as they were roundly bested by both Liverpool and RFA. The game was never much in doubt after the first half mile as both opponents took it out strong and only Wildcats Steve Houghmaster and Tom Hopkins responded. The West Genesee pack that was effective at the VVS Invitational the previous Saturday was no where in sight against these league opponents. The 'cats will need to re-focus on the race elements that will help this young team become and remain competitive in the league and section.

Girls: The girls team provided the mirror image of the boys, taking the pace out hard and leaving Liverpool behind in the second mile of the tough CMS course. The girls ran 1-2-3-4-5 against a good Liverpool squad and also bested RFA with its two solid front-runners. The most exciting individual dual of the day transpired between WG's Colleen Smith and Liverpool's Miranda McConnell. Smith ran behind McConnell until the 2.4 mile mark when she pulled ahead and then used the final hill and carry-over for a lead that McConnell could not overcome despite an impressive finish sprint. With the dual victories, the 'cats have marked themselves as a power this season in the strong National Division.

Meet Summaries

Boys:   The boys Varsity rebounded from a lackluster 9/13 dual meet by re-discovering their pack. Tired legs aside, they ran ahead of several other sectional squads ranked above them in the pre-season. The improvement continues.

Girls: At the tired end of 3 races in 8 days, the girls were mentally and physically fatigued. Unfortunately, the timing was bad as they ran into a red-hot FM team and CNS running well. Still, their 3rd place finish was evidence of the year's team strength, and they received a #8 NYS Class AA ranking for the week.

Meet Summaries

Boys:  A split for the boys. A hoped for match-up with the Bees did not materialize as they took charge early and forced the 'cats to run from behind. WG managed 4 of the top-10 spots but a 1-2-4-5-6 onslaught by the Bees shut down the Wildcats. The team looks to regroup and improve at the McQuaid Invitational this Saturday.

Girls: Taking a talented and energized Baldwinsville team on their home course too lightly was the downfall of the Wildcats, who suffered their first dual meet loss of the season. The 'cats took two of the top three spots but were dominated in the middle of the race by strong Bee's pack running. The girls regroup and ready for the McQuaid Invitational.

Meet Summaries

Boys:  The boys continue searching for their top-7's both on varsity and JV. Though the varsity Houghmaster/Hopkins/Reedy trio has proven pretty steady, the 'cats are looking to close the 2-5 gap and move up tighter on front-runner Steve Houghmaster, who registered an impressive 15th overall. Also impressive was the continued climb through the team ranks of freshman Colin Monroe, who ran team 6th for the Wildcats.

Girls: Following their let-down against Baldwinsville in dual meet action, the girls began a mental comeback at McQuaid with an improved team performance and their highest finish ever in the seeded race. Still needing to 'trust their training' and to leave more on the course, the girls are nevertheless moving in the right direction again thanks to some solid 1-7 running and some challenges being issued to that varsity group by JV runners. October will be interesting.

Meet Summaries

Boys:  It was a tough day at the office as the CNS Northstars brought their state top-10 team depth to bear on the Wildcats. Steve Houghmaster and Tom Hopkins managed to break into the CNS top-7 but the 'cats were shut out after that. They were able to turn that table on Utica, taking four of the five top spots enroute to an easy victory. They finish the dual meet season at 2-4.

Girls: Upset was the goal, but the girls fell just short of the total team effort needed and lost a close one on their muddy home course. The top-five of McMahon/Smith/Rothenberg/Murphy/Bott, however, ran terrific races, putting CNS behind early, then battling the rest of the way. A place change here or there might have swung the race their way, but luck was not with the Wildcats this day. They did, however, come away from the meet knowing how well they can run at Manhattan and with a 4-2 dual meet record for the season.
