2023 Cross Country

-- 2023 XC --

Notes:

9/22/23 - Highest statewide Burns Scores as of Sep. 22

Individual Rankings (top 100 girls and top 100 boys)

Notes: St. Johnsbury trio Andrew Thornton-Sherman (96.4***), Emmett Johnson (95.4***), and Carson Eames (94.7**) dominates on the muddy Primeau Woods trails in Newport, Hazen's Casandra Royer (83.3) easily wins a less competitive girls race

9/16/23 - Nashua North (NH) Invitational (U-32 Boys) + Bonus Tully Scores

Notes: Cyrus Hansen's 15:32 is the second fastest Vermont 5k time (Tyler Marshall 15:24) recorded by Athletic.net in its 18-year history, U-32 Boys place second to some top NH teams

Just when I thought it couldn't get faster than "Burlington," Mines Falls managed to stake its claim as the fastest course traversed by Vermonters in at least the past decade.

9/13/23 - St. J Meet

Notes: Andrew Thornton-Sherman (90.2*)

9/9/23 - Burlington Invitational (@ Hard'ack)(with Tully Scores)

Notes: Estella Laird (93.9**) and the CVU girls dominate once again, Essex girls pack it up nicely, Porter Hurteau (94.2**) leads three other Bobwhites and 11 total boys under 17:00, BFA still falls to the impressive depth of CVU (16:52 avg) and Montpelier

Maybe the fastest "5k" course in VT history. Already a very fast course (especially in the right conditions like Saturday), Hard'ack was weirdly cut ~.05 miles short to make for some insane time-inflation. Folks ran an average of 60-70 seconds faster than Essex and nearly everyone PRed.

9/5/23 - Rutland SVL Meet

Notes: Woodstock juniors Izzy Cellini and James Underwood win

9/2/23 - Essex Invitational

Notes: Seems like the Hornets brought out the bees to slow everyone down today... mud and heat didn't help much either. Nonetheless, XC (and Burns Scores) are back! CVU girls pick up right where they left off (5 in the top 7), and Cyrus Hansen (93.6**) wins handily
