Flashbacks Bring Fast Back To Balwdinsville Invitational




Girls Large Schools Individuals


Notes: On October 6th, 2001, Kaitlyn Neal may not have even been walking yet, let alone running. But while she was enjoying the South Carolina sun, an 8th grader by the name of Nicole Blood, was breaking the Baldwinsville Course Record, to lead her Saratoga Squad to a team title in 21 points, broken up by a second place finish from Laurel Burdick of Fayetteville-Manlius. Flash forward fourteen years, and Neal, now a senior at Fayetteville-Manlius, cracks the course record of one of the most prolific XC runners in New York State history, again leading her team to a 21-point victory. Behind her, Carly Benson had kicked past a field of green in the final stretchs to take second, while Katrina Patterson was the only other athlete to break into FM's top six.

Notes: As always, the Hornets improve every weekend further into the season. Notably stronger than their VVS showing, FM had a sub-minute compression, which included a very far out front low stick. In second, Ithaca impressed just over that minute compression.
