Saratoga Springs NY, the Number 1 girls team in the nation
, ran off with the Girls Eastern States Championship with a 33 point
score (3-5-6-8-11-14-16). Amazingly, the next two teams are from
the same league and New York Section, with Columbia 92 shading Colonie
93.
In the boys races, the three fastest teams were only a half second
apart in average team time. Unfortunately, they ran in different
races due to the meet's policy of balanced seeding across the seven
boys varsity races. The best three were: US#17 Old Bridge NJ
13:23.58 (56 points, Race F winner), US#21 Bishop Hendricken
RI 13:23.70 (Race B, 43 points), and St. John's MA 13:24.1
(Race A, 47 points).
Fastest runners of day were Brian Dalpiaz, Sayville 12:27.6
(Brendan Fennell, Pearl River 12:35.5) and Tracey Brauksieck,
Homer 14:28 (Laurel Burdick, Fayetteville Manlius 14:30.3 and Nicole
Blood, Saratoga 14:32.7).
