Breakdown: After some close finishes at McQuaid and Manhattan, Nate Lawler has been rebounding with some quality marks.  He had already set the standard for next year, with a course record at the future State Meet host, Wayne, and now breaks the course record at Parma Park.  The course has many different variations, but it is still a quality time.

Breakdown: The top New Yorker from Manhattan is finding his stride at the right time in the season, with a very impressive mark at SPAC.  It would arguably be Noah Carey's best race of the season, and he'll get another shot to move higher up the list next week at Sectionals.

What Happened Earlier?

While Noah Affolder (former NYer) was busy setting the McQuaid course record, Kevin Moshier was setting the Chenango Valley Course Record, a venue that played host to States in 2004.  Moshier has been more team-minded as of late, but is still a threat in any race.

Jonathan Lauer ran well at Sunken Meadow, hovering around #50 All-Time.

Behailu Bekele-Arcuri came within a few seconds of capturing the VCP freshman course record at Manhattan, only thwarted by Sam Affolder a year prior.

It takes a 191 or higher to make the Top 100 All-Time, a 194 or better to make the Top 50 All-Time, and a 199 or higher to make the Top 20 All-Time

Currently, no boys have broken onto the list, although Jon Lauer is 0.02 from doing so.


Which Record Should Watch Out Next?

Easily the most vulnerable would be the Chenango Valley Golf Course Record.  While Moshier did have perfect conditions to set it earlier in the year, there are plenty of athletes who weren't in the field at the time, and even those who were weren't head to head.  With the field so close together at the front, expect the leaders to push each other the whole way, which could put quite a few past the record.
