Following Week of Saturday, October 15
Top action was at Burnt Hills where Monroe-Woodbury won the Varsity 4 race and was followed in the merge results by NY teams Fairport, Saratoga, Shenendehowa, Northport, Burnt Hills, and Tri-Valley. Webster Thomas and Alden were the top teams in the Alden Bulldog Gold and Blue races and Oakfield-Alabama moved up in D with a good effort, Ithaca was tops at Marathon, Norwood-Norfolk was the best at Beaver River, Eastport-South Manor and Bay Shore won races at Nassau Coaches, Baldwinsville was best at Tully, and Auburn reigned at Weedsport.
Teams are listed with the average speed ratings numbers supplied by Tully Runners, and the number in parentheses shows the difference between the 1-5 runners, each point equaling 3 seconds on a 5K course, and smaller compression numbers are generally better.
On Wednesday the big league meets kick off with the SCAC meet for the Class A Syracuse-area schools, and over the next week there will be a slew of either league or county meets including Albany County, OCIAA (Orange County), Rensselaer County, STAC, Tri Valley, CSC, Foothills Council, OHSL Patriot, Wasaren, Section 11 Divisionals, and WAC meets. The invitationals keep coming too, and the Section 1 Coaches meet allows an inspection of the Bowdoin Park course for teams thinking about Federations or Nike Regionals. Other invites coming up include Alexander, Collegiate, Greenwich, Sunset Stampede, Edward Bowes, and Marion meets.
