McQuaid!

9/29/2018

What a day!

Catie Eisenhut '20 led from the start, with teammate Emmy Jackson '21 in second until the final yards of the race (Emmy would finish 3rd). All seven Ladycats were focused on their goal, and they finished their race victorious, 76 points ahead of Section 4 Class C Rival Waverly and ahead of a field of 38 teams, 364 runners.

For the first time in program history, Lansing fielded five complete teams at McQuaid in races 1, 3, 5, 6, and 7. The Bobcats saw big improvements in pacing and effort, and with several weeks of racing left in the season, there's much excitement to come from the program.

Complete results are available here.

We wrapped up the day with our traditional Dinosaur BBQ feast -- thanks to our Rochester hosts!

Senior Night & Last LXC Race at LCT

9/25/2018

The rain stopped just in time for our varsity squads to set up our 1.5 mile and 5K courses at the Lansing Center Trail. For the last three years, LCT has been host to our program's home course, and we are incredibly grateful to the Town of Lansing, the Lansing Recreation Department, and the Friends of the Lansing Center Trail for their support. While development of the land will bring an end to our racing there, we plan to continue to train on the surrounding trails and look forward to the next chapter of on-campus racing once again.

Check out some great photos of varsity races below, courtesy of our course designer and local trails expert, Ian Golden.

BVille = Fast times

It was the 66th running of the Baldwinsville Invitational -- but only the first time in recent memory that Lansing made the trip to the Durgee Junior High campus for an invitational that promised personal records.

True to its word, the invitational was flat, fast, and exciting.

With just five girls, the varsity Ladycats finished 3rd of 31 teams in the small school varsity race.

Check out Catie's interview with NY Milesplit.

The varsity boys and both modified squads also embraced the opportunity to run alongside fields of over 200 runners per race, through trails and along paths lines with spectators, and personal best efforts resulted all around.

Complete results can be found here.

Dual Meet at a New TBurg Course

9/18/2018

The Trumansburg Raiders moved their home course off campus to the Trumansburg Golf Course. No athlete had seen the course before -- so the squads from Trumansburg, Lansing and Marathon took a course walk together before the races got underway.

Highlights:

Varsity Ladycats ran away with their first official win of the season (previous meet was a scrimmage), scoring just 19 points. Catie, Emmy, and Kinsley went 1-2-3 once again followed closely by teammates Eden, Teresa, Hana and Allison. Catie's winning time of 18:24.7 (or maybe 18:17.7?) is a new course record.
The varsity boys were second to host Trumansburg. Marathon's Lucas Baker won overall. Lansing's Jack Thomas kept his eyes on the top Marathon and Trumansburg runners, finishing third overall in a big personal best effort (16:46.3 for 2.9 miles). Ryan, Sam, Teddy, Caden, and Ben rounded out our top seven once again.
Both mod squads for Lansing took second place, the boys by just one point to Marathon.

XC 2018: Races are underway

Fall is in the air! Our Lansing harriers started off on a challenging course that they'll see several times this season and they look strong.

September 11: First scrimmage at Marathon, host of the Marathon Invitational & IAC Championships (Opponents: Marathon, Moravia, Whitney Point & Southern Cayuga)

Varsity girls win first scrimmage with a near perfect score led by Catie Eisenhut '20, Emmy Jackson '21, and Kinsley Jacobs '23 going 1-2-3. Teresa Garcia '20 and Eden Jackson '19 rounded out scoring with their 5th & 6th place team finishes with their teammates Hana Thibault '21 and Allison Keefe '19 just behind them in 7th & 8th for team competition, pushing out scores for their rivals.
Varsity boys are second to Southern Cayuga, led by Jack Thomas '20 who came in 2nd overall followed closely by Ryan Barton '20 who crossed the line in 4th place. Sam Bell '22 and Teddy Brenner '21 worked together for the entire race, finishing in 8th & 9th place, respectively. Caden Michalec '22 finished his varsity race as our 5th scorer with Ben Caveney '19 and Zachary Hwang '22 rounding out our top seven.
Modified girls were the only complete scoring team in their race, winning by default. Notably, this was the first time that Lansing has fielded a complete team ) in a decade or more. Vanessa Bell '24 led her squad followed by Loveta Geesey '23, Abby Brown '24, Domenica Reeve '24 and Sophie Scanlon '24.
Modified boys also were the only complete scoring team. Seth Riley '23 finished 2nd overall followed by a pack in 5th, 6th, and 7th place (Parker Vooris '23, Tom Stallone '23, Brandon Brotherton '23) and rounding out our top five was newcomer Felix Hafner '23. Lucius Dann '24 and Thomas Wells '23 completed our top seven.
