Soph Andrew Judd of Conard took the Class L individual laurels with his 16:06 winner.

  • Ridgefield senior Heather Stephens (16:04) won the Class LL individual championship over Newtown's Elise DeRoo (16:18) to lead her team to a fourth-place finish. Glastonbury, behind the third place finish of Lindsay Crevoiserat (16:28) , won the team title, followed by Hall and Norwich Free Academy.

  • Class MM team action saw Guilford litter the top eleven with all five of their scorers, recording 30 points to Wilton's 55. The spread from 1-5 for Guilford was a slim 25-seconds, one of the better compressions on the day. Junior Erica Hines of Fermi took the individual title with a speedy 16:11 tour of the course.
  • The individual battle in the Class M race was easily one of the tightest of the day, with soph Stephanie Eldridge of RHAM and frosh Jackie Nicholas of Nonnewaug recording identical times of 16:43.

  • The smallest classes were highlighted by Katie Matthews' (Rocky Hill sr) Class SS winning time of 16:05, the second fastest of the entire day, a tight Class SS team battle between Griswold (116) and East Hampton (119), the 1-2 finish of Immaculate harriers Moira Kenny (16:25) and Katie Collins (16:55) in the Class S individual race, and Portland's Class S team win over St. Bernard, 62-98.
