NY boys toppled NE#1/US#1
Fayetteville-Manlius NY in the New York Public
Schools State Meet. Later, the US#1/NE#1
Saratoga girls barely
held off upset-minded NE#2/US#5
Hilton by one point, 46-47. All four teams will
go at it again next week in the New York Federation Championships,
which brings in the New York PSAL and Catholic leagues.
Defending Foot Locker national champion Aislinn
Ryan won the girls race in 17:24 and then came the brawl between Saratoga and Hilton.
Saratoga finished 2-3-18-20-27 (before elimination of incomplete teams), and
Hilton was 7-8-11-17-25. Saratoga was led, as usual, by Hannah
Davidson 17:33 and Lindsay Ferguson 17:40.
Hilton ace Amanda Griggs was still
bothered by shin splints, which had her in the pool all week; she finished 11th
in 18:22. Meanwhile, Caroline Schultz and Allison
Sawyer picked up the slack with a 7-8 finish in 18:07. Amazingly,
the scoring almost exactly duplicated the prediction of tullyrunners.com, whose
computer simulations forecasted a 47-47 tie. Flash
