2025 NYSPHSAA Girls XC State Championship Meet Preview


Girls Class B - Individuals


Breakdown:

Through September, Sloan Wasserman looked to be the marquee athlete in Class B. She was narrowly over the prior Course Record at Pre-States, then followed up with good races back home in Section 1. However, in the month of October, a name from Long Island started to pop up, as Maddie Laezza started putting in good marks upstate at Saratoga and Bowdoin herself. She's been improving rapidly and has hit a top ten time All-Time at Sunken Meadow. It sets up a good matchup in the undercard Class B race at States. Behind the pair, Zugelder and Bathgate are set for another matchup after seeing each other at McQuaid.
