Queensbury Invitational
QUEENSBURY — The Broadalbin-Perth girls turned in a strong performance at the Queensbury Invitational Saturday at Queensbury High School.
The Lady Patriots placed sixth out of 23 teams scoring points in the Division II Small Schools standings with 180 points, while the B-P boys placed 15th out of 23 schools in the D-II boys standings with 314 points.
The Amsterdam boys placed 20th in the D-I standings with 596 points, while the Lady Rams placed 21st in the D-I standings with 631 points.
Sarah Smith led the Broadalbin-Perth girls with her 22nd place overall finish with a time of 21:21.35 over the 5K Queensbury Trails course., while Samantha Murphy was 23rd in 21:22.12, Emma Frasier placed 36th in 22:12.91, Lauren Phillips was s41st in 22:18.76 and Ava Tyler rounded out the top five scorers with her 66th place overall finish in 23:43.49. Caroline Iannotti placed 75th overall for BP with a time of 23:58.89 and Grace Smith was 117th in 27:06.24.
Delhi won the D-II girls title over Mount Greylock Regional High School, 73-135, while Schuylerville was third with 173, Voorheesville and Remsen/Old Forge both had 179 points with Voorheesville getting fourth on the sixth-runner tie-breaker. Broadalbin-Perth was sixth with 180 and Bayport Blue Point seventh with 187.
“Today was our first true test of the season as we raced against many of schools we will compete against at sectionals,” Broadalbin-Perth coach Jeff Richards said. “Overall, we ran well as most set personal best. On the girls side we finished sixth but were only beaten out by one of our fellow Section II Class C schools, Schuylerville. They beat us by a small margin of 7 points, which I believe we can overcome, as our new kids get more accustomed to the 5k distance. Ava Tyler [4 minutes better] and Caroline Iannotti [2 minutes better] showed much improvement in just their second race and made our gap from 1-6 so much tighter.”
For the Patriots, Connor Couperus placed 29th overall with a time of 18:05.61, while Micah Smith placed 32nd in 18:19.40 and Danny Dylong was 45th with a time of 18:51.50. Josh Hughes placed 104th with his time of 20:39.59 and Jordan Perna completed the Patriots scoring, finishing 123rd in 21:18.73. Aiden Snyder placed 148th overall for BP with a time of 22:47.37 and Thomas Holland finished 169th in 25:11.62.
Mount Academy won the D-II boys title with 28 points, with Sayville second with 81 and Delhi third with 87.
“On the boys side I was hoping for better than 15th, but we are showing improvement,” Richards said. “Like the girls, we need to gain some more experience and learn to keep the pack a bit tighter. We had a 3 minute gap from 1-5 and in order to win an elusive sectional title we need that gap to be about a minute and a half. Our top 3 of Connor, Micah, and Danny [all who have cross country experience] ran exceptionally well as we put 3 in before any other section II Class team’s 2nd runner. Now we need the remaining members to find a way to stay within striking distance of opposing teams number five guys. I think they have the talent to do so, but now they have to believe it.”
Trevor Dzikowicz paced the Amsterdam boys with his 38th place finish in the D-I race with a time of 17:11.26 over the 5K course. Daniel Bublak placed 132nd in 20:10.85, while Matthew Stachnik was 137th in 20:34.93, Joseph Santiago placed 140th in 21:04.82, Tyler Rodecker was 149th in 28:15.32 and Justin Santiago placed 150th in 28:51.96.
