Fayetteville-Manlius Senior Claire Walters, who we featured earlier this season, had another breakout performance at the Section 3 Championships. At the course that would hold States in 2020, Walters ran to a 17:29.6 winning victory. It is the fastest mark run at the venue, for any course layout, by fifteen seconds. Accordingly, Walters was Speed Rated at 161.13, which is the seventh highest Speed Rating award to a New York Individual, and 3rd in the Country this year.
Brooke Rauber (Tully), in a later race, ran 17:44.80, her best race ever. For comparison, the previous best time on a VVS course came in 2017, when Sophie Ryan (FM) ran 17:59.40.
