Section 1 Class B championships 2013

                                Somers Cross Country
      Section One Sectional State Qualifying Meet
            At Bowdoin Park, Wappingers, NY
                   Friday, November 1, 2013

MEDALS TO TOP 10 PLACES IN EACH RACE
Winning team wins Sectional Champs Plaque and 2nd place team wind runner-up Sectional Plaque
WINNING TEAM AND TOP 5 INDIVIDUALS NOT ON THE WINNING TEAM ADVANCE TO THE STATE MEET IN EACH VARSITY RACE.
It was a good race for us. Despite missing two of our top 5 runners (Jack Fozard to injury and Tom Wray), the team posted an 18:43 team time average on a wet course and placed 9th of 15 teams in a very deep field. The course was running
Approximately 30 seconds slow on the day. 
Senior Matt Maliniak ran a courageous race. He went out strong but smart and put himself in position to qualify for the State Meet. With less than 700 meters to go, he was the seventh individual in the race. He was still close with 200 meters to go and gave it all he had. His final place does not tell the real story of his race or how close he was to making States.
With our number 3-10 runners and more returning, the future is bright for the team. Many of our freshman ran their only their 2nd ever 5K and first 5K at Bowdoin.
