Girls and Boys Cross Country teams off to a "running start"!
The Girls Varsity Cross Country team is currently 6-0 in Center State Conference league play having defeated:
Canastota, Herkimer, Cooperstown, Adirondack, Waterville & Oriskany so far...
Junior Eva Borton (Currently ranked as the #1 XC runner out of all New York State Class C schools!) has won both Major weekend invitationals that the Warriors have attended.
She was the winner in her race at the VVS invitational on 9/9/17 and was also victorious for the 3rd year "running" at the New Hartford invitational over this past weekend.
9th grader Taylor Harvey (State ranked #8 out of all New York Class C schools) finished second to Borton at the New Hartford invite and Senior Taylor Highers finished 4th with an inspirational kick at the finish to set the tone for the day.
The girls captured the small school team championship and were also the over-all meet champions.
The Boys Varsity team is also currently 6-0 in Center State Conference league play having defeated:
Canastota, Herkimer, Cooperstown, Adirondack, Waterville & Oriskany as well.
At New Hartford, the boys team (led by Senior Andy Ford) had an outstanding team performance and used it's senior laden depth to capture the small school team championship title.
The double win was an outstanding feather in the program's cap this early in the season.
Next Wednesday the teams travel to West Canada Valley for a 6-way CSC meet with WCV, Poland, Little Falls, Dolgeville & Mount Markham.
The team is also preparing for a run at repeating as "double winners" at the E.J. Herrman Invitational at Proctor Park next Saturday 9/30/17
Both the Boys and Girls captured team titles last year with CJ Militello wining the individual boys race to lead the team to victory and Emma Novak doing the same to set the pace for the girls team victory.
Two years ago Gab Dewhurst was the individual race winner making the E.J. Herrman race a "Clinton Girl's race" for the last two years...and counting.
