McQuaid Invite Looks To Settle State Rankings

Girls Best Of The Rest


Races 4 - A-2

Individuals: Anna Furman (Tri-Valley) - 123, Fiona Murphy (Buffalo Seminary) - 114, Catherine Staley (Geneseo) - 112, Hannah Governor (Williamson) - 107, Edy Livingston (Grimes) - 103, Grace Carguello (Pulaski) - 102, Maggie Brown (Cato-Meridian) - 97

Breakdown: The first Varsity race of the day should be a strong one, as the smallest class in the State has plenty of competition. Anna Furman will look to make this a Tri-Valley sweep for both genders, holding off a slew of upstate talent.

Race 7 - A-1

Individuals: Emilia O'Leary (East Aurora) - 135, Emma Lewis (Southwestern) - 119, Kailyn Houghton (East Aurora) - 116, Catherine Schoeneman (East Aurora) - 110, Lucy Fleckenstein (Skaneateles) - 108, Hope Owens (East Aurora) - 105, Reiley Pierce (East Aurora) - 105, Annabelle Renzi (South Jefferson) - 105, Kylie Bowman (Newfane) - 103, Leah Mays (Silver Creek) - 101, Laura Denial (Saranac) - 100

Breakdown: East Aurora shot up to New York #3 after their performance last weekend, and are entered in the morning session to set the standard, and potentially sweep the merge. That's because not only do they have team strength, but also O'Leary is ranked NY-6 Overall.

Race 11 - AA

Individuals: Kiera Macintosh (Scotia-Glenville) - 120, Schuyler Long (Scotia-Glenville) - 108, Hannah Devine (Brighton) - 108, Nora Babbitt (Brighton) - 106, Abby Lamb (Amherst) - 100

Breakdown: The Section 2 squad Scotia looks to highlight here, as they hold off a strong Brighton team.

23 - AAA

Individuals: Lillie Bogdan (Frontier) - 141, Tsadia Bercuvitz (Ithaca) - 139,  Kamryn Barton (Baldwinsville) - 119, Haylie Smith (Rush-Henrietta) - 114, Shea Fajen (Columbia) - 113 Melia Kupchanko (Williamsville North) - 112, Kylie Davis (Williamsville North) - 108, Taylor Page (Liverpool) - 105, Audrey Gleghorn (Rush-Henrietta) - 105, Lindsay Richardson (Rush-Henrietta) - 102, Kadence Williams (Central Square) - 100

Breakdown: Like last year, Lillie Bogdan will be racing at the end of the day. This gives the junior the advantage of knowing what time to chase, to win the merge. She'll have a repeat challenger in the Ithaca freshman who took second here a year ago. Rush-Henrietta also features here, as they try to move up the State Leaderboards as a team.
