Cross Country Invite at Baldwinsville
Alyson Witt
On the 26th of September, both the modified and varsity Homer Cross Country teams traveled to the home of the Baldwinsville Bees to compete at their 64th annual cross country invite. Here they raced on a 2.95 mile course which was mostly flat with the exception of some steep hills. The runners raced in the woods as well as through the school fields. This meet was held between roughly fifty-nine other schools; many of which were local, such as Liverpool, Cortland, Tully and St. Mary's. Although the race was also open to any non scholastic runners, those that ran without correlation to a school were mainly alumni and friends of the Baldwinsville Cross Country program. Team and individual results for the race were supplied by the Leone timing service.
Both teams competed in the varsity small school race, and were very successful. Both the girls and boys teams finished sixth compared to 20-25 other teams. All runners received a ribbon at the finish line, and the top twenty finishers were also awarded a t-shirt. McKayla Crawford (6th), Zoe fish (14th), and Arielle Moheimani (18th) all placed in the top twenty in their varsity race against 161 other runners. From the boys team, Evan Ulrich (6th) and Grant Stoke (12th) also placed in the top twenty and received a t-shirt. Overall, this race was yet another success for the Homer Cross Country program.
