| Notes: The train keeps on rolling for Noah Affolder. After relaxed transition to New York running as a sophomore, Affolder has turned into the man to beat in 2015. Expecting Conor Lundy
to help push him through the race, the plan changed after Lundy came
down with illness after a College Recruiting trip the week prior. With
no strings attached, Affolder blasted from the gun, using the pace cart
as the sole motivation. Coming through the first mile at 4:42, it was
clear he was a man on a mission. Continuing to pound, he came through
at 9:30 for the full two-mile, a 9:26 3200m equivalent. On record pace,
Affolder pushed further, a huge gap on the field. Coming down the
finish stretch, it was a mad sprint towards the finish, with a slight
look at the clock, and the announcer counting down, Affolder pointed to
the sky, crossing with exuberance. He had crushed the course record by
over 10 seconds, putting the question into everyone's mind. Could the
14-minute barrier be broken in Affolder's senior year? It seems to be
almost unthinkable, just like sub-12 at Manhattan once was. The Junior
who has cruised to two course records, and five weekends undefeated, is
removing what impossible really is.
Behind him, there were plenty of stories, not excluding his younger brother, who may have set the freshman course record in his own right. |

| Notes: The story would be a replay of 2014. Pittsford-Mendon would be attacking the Jason DeJoy memorial race, named after their late Coach. Xavier was returning as the top competitor, winning the title the year prior by 2 points. But Mendon was not to be denied, as they pushed together their compression, to bring the trophy back home. The boys of Mendon is a program on the rise, with the correct makeup to do something at the Federation level. With everyone around the state stepping up, Mendon will be forced to do the same, taking third in the merge, just over Corning. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
