Verona, NY - Home of the Section 3 Championships come November, all the major names were in attendance, albeit in different races. The dual reigning National Champions Fayetteville-Manlius has reloaded well in both genders, but the Liverpool boys will once again prove a very real and dangerous threat to a return to States. Individuals like Noah Affolder, Donny Glavin, and Ben Petrella put on a show, while runners like Bryan Geehrer and Daniel Keuhn made big jumps in their summer training. For the girls, mainstays like Kaitlyn Neal and Carly Benson are back on top, but the underclassman are starting to pop up. MileSplit NY was on the scene to catch all the action, check out our recap below.
