Clashes and Course Records at 'Quaid - Full McQuaid Invitational Meet Recap

Notes: There was no denying how impressive Sage Hurta looked in the earliest effort of the day. While the temps were low, and the rain was drizzling down, Hurta tore up the course at Genesee Valley Park. She pulled away early, and kept on pouring on the distance. She comes across the line nearly 20 seconds ahead of the competition, good enough for the 4th fastest time of the day. When she enters the bigger races, Hurta is ready to do some damage.

Behind her, Kaycie Saucier was not simply pacing through. She powered to the tenth fastest time of the day herself, proving Class D has staying power in 2015. Another big development was the emergence of Tully 7th grader Brooke Rauber, daughter of Coach Michelle Rauber. She debuted with a 21st overall finish in the meet, impressing many.

Notes: What was set up to be a Class D pre-state race, ended up going to an Out-of-State squad. Villa Maria Academy of Erie, PA dominated the position, something they have been doing back home for weeks.

Back to NY, Greenwich took another step up after their showing at Ocean State, holding off other Class D powers like Maple Grove and Tully.
