Meet Summaries

Boys:  The boys succumbed a bit to the pre-season hype and, while winning their White Division Race, did not have the outing they wanted, finishing 3rd in a merge of all teams. But, first meets are first meets; some questions were answered and some important questions were poised. They look ahead to a good training week and a better team performance at the Chittenango Invitational.

Girls: Some solid performances were mixed with some 'first-meet' issues. Like the boys, the girls did not see the total team varsity performance they sought, but now have a starting point for the season.

Outstanding Performances

Boys: Tom Hopkins/Alex DeJohn/Martin Leff

Girls: Alex Incaudo/Katie Bott

Meet Summaries

Boys:  The boys continued their development with another race win, this one without a top-5 performer. A work in progress, the boys again shuffled their order of finish in both races. Stay tuned....

Girls: Still looking for that complete team effort, one with all 1-5 runners performing well, the girls placed 2nd behind a strong CNS squad. Freshman efforts were significant in this one, while the JV team continued to run well.

Boys: Martin Leff/John DeLallo

Meet Summaries

Boys:   The Baldwinsville Bees flew in and schooled the Wildcats on their home course. The Bees went out strong and the 'cats never responded as Baldwinsville went 1-2 on West Genesee followed by 5-6-7 pack that stung the home team. The Wildcats will need some serious re-adjustments in tactics and race temperment before another strong team, Liverpool, arrives on September 24th. 

Girls:  The girls mirrored the boys in allowing their competitors to move out strong in Mile 1, forcing the 'cats to play catch-up in the late going. They could not catch up quickly enough and suffered a season-opening home loss. Like the boys, they have a week to prepare for invading Liverpool on September 24th.

Meet Summaries

Boys:  Following a strategic and attitudinal let-down against Baldwinsville the previous week, the boys corrected both as they went out strong and fought the entire race to come away with an exciting victory against state-top 20 Liverpool. It wasn't easy by any stretch. Outstanding efforts by top-5 runners Steve Houghmaster, Tom Hopkins, Jon Richardson and Sam Reedy were required. The victory, in the end, was reduced to a 60 meter sprint to the finish by the WG and Liverpool #5 runners. Sam Reedy won that dual and secured the Wildcat victory. The only thing to rival that exciting victory was the primo early fall weather and the raucous, supportive crowds.

Girls: Ouch. What should have been a close, hard-fought dual meet between sectional rivals quickly dissolved into a WG catch-up game. The Liverpool Warriors borrowed a page from the Baldwinsville boys game-book by charging out and running 1-2-3 for almost 2.5 miles of the 5k course. The 'cats' never recovered, which usually happens when falling behind to a good team like Liverpol. Despite some personal record performances, Liverpool challenges unmet by WG runners put this one out of reach by mid-race. With tough CNS coming into town next Wednesday, the girls now find themselves in the unfamiliar position of fighting for their lives to protect a WG winning-season streak going back to 1995.
