Dryden @ Marathon
9-9-14
The newly resurrected Dryden Cross Country program ran in
it's first race of the season at the Marathon Dual meet against Marathon,
Groton, Moravia, Trumansburg, and Southern Cayuga.
In their first race, the Dryden boys placed two runners in
the Top-10, Morningstar Fowler (6th-19:57), and Tor Wildenstein (7th-20:04).
The team's other scorers were Kelvin Green (11th-20:36), Eric Varvayanis
(18th-21:11), and Jacob Yatsko (22nd-21:25). The boys' combined team score of
64 points was enough to give them 2nd place behind Trumansburg who scored 30
points.
In the girls' race, Abbey Yatsko placed 3rd with a time of
22:50, and the other Dryden finishers were Haley Cornelius (13th-26:10), Shaina
Sullivan (15th-26:30), and Teaghan Murphy (21st-27:31).
I couldn't be happier with the performance of all the
athletes on the team in the first race of the season. This was also the first
cross country race ever for the entire team, and we had a late start to our
training this season. We came into this race just looking to run smart, strong,
gain experience, and finish. Every day I'm shocked at the commitment level and
motivation displayed by a group of individuals who are all entirely new to the
sport. The team out performed my expectations today, and will be a force to be
reckoned with as the season progresses.
