Marenghi runs to 64th place at States


Eve Marenghi made the trip to Plattsburgh this weekend and proved she belonged with a 64th place finish. Marenghi struggled a little with the humidity (as she often does with her asthma) but still managed to run a solid race, covering the 5K course in 20:23.

The Class A race is one of the toughest races of it's kind in the country. The race was won by Aisling Cuffe of Cornwall, one of the favorites to win the Foot Locker National title next month. The Queensbury girls team took the title. They are ranked in the top ten in the country. The weather just got worse and worse as the day went as the rain kept getting harder.

Rachel O'Connell and Julia Cavaliere were in attendance cheering on their teammate. The girls are already talking about trying to come back to next year's meet as a team.
