State Title Hopes Start At Section 3's Chittenango Invitational




Girls Division 3 Individual
Notes: Very rarely do you hear names of note coming up through the youth scene in New York.  Jonah Gorevic, the mile World Record Holder for his age group is one of them.  Lizzy Lucason, is another.  Lucason has set Indoor National Records for her age group for years now.  Profiled numerous times in the local media, she was beating athletes much older on the road.  Now in 7th grade, she qualifies to move up to Varisty running if she passes the athletic equivalency test.  No problem there, as Lucason made her debut at Chittenango.  The only irony in the situation was that after all those years, and finally making Varsity, the race distance gets dropped down to the modified (middle school) race distance because of the heat.  Regardless, Lucason, running well with her sister Morgan, a freshman, took home the win by a fair margin.  The full 5k will have to wait another week.

Notes: The game changes when the race distance drops down, and NY Mills found a way to capitalize.  Putting their Top 4 runners in the Top 10 sealed their fate, coming away with a comfortable win.
