Section 4 Girls

Class A
Position	Team	TR	Top Runners
1	Corning	104.8	Lawson, Beres, Roche, Grinnell, Collins, Murch, Farrell
2	Ithaca	70.2	Bercuvitz, Burke, Burke, Bellman, Kinast, Klemm
3	Union Endicott	64.6	Limbert, Buckley, Castoro, Trudeaux, Buck
4	Horseheads	61.8	Baker, Borek, Tremba, Kerwan, Oakes, Christmas

Summary: Corning will be going for its fourth straight S4-A title and Sarah Lawson is again favored for the individual title after winning last year's race by 75 seconds. This year though the battle at the top should be much closer as Ithaca 8th grader Tsadia Bercuvitz is running close behind Lawson and 2021 runner-up Vicky Mordvinova is also within striking distance. Ithaca, Union-Endicott, and Horseheads should have a good tussle for 2nd.

Summary: With only three Class B teams in Section 4, there is little depth to the field. Vestal should win the title, and Maine-Endwell sophomore Cassandra Burt is the favorite for the individual title after finishing 3rd last year.
