Saratoga's
Cabbie Rossi just before the mile mark.

Amber
Sayer of Amherst (MA).
|
Saratoga's
Karyn Delay leads teammate Ruby Solomon.
|
Kristin
Farley of Poly Prep (NY).
|
By
the two-mile mark, Nicole Blood (right) and Lindsay Donaldson had
dropped Laura Cummings...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
...and
it was down to a two girl battle. Donaldson had dominated her races
in Eastern Mass...
|
...but
hanging with Nicole Blood in this race indicated that she's on par
with the country's best.
|
Laura
Cummings looked strong running in third place at the two-mile mark.
|
Lindsey
Ferguson runs in fourth place.
|
Ellen
Dougherty of Riverhead (NY) runs in fifth place.

Amherst's
Spring Greeney finished 11th in 18:32.
|
Amherst's
Amanda Rinderle finished 15th in 19:00.
|
At
the three-mile mark, it appeared as if Lindsay Donaldson might hold
of Nicole Blood...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
...but
Blood found another gear, kicking by Donaldson in the final tenth
of a mile to win...
|
...16:52.3
to 16:54. Both runners broke Ari Lambie's course record of 17:15.8
set last year.
|
Donaldson
establised herself as the runner to beat in Massachusetts and a
national contender.
|
Blood
is already a seasoned veteran as a sophomore.
|
She
led her team, ranked #1 nationally, to a win with 27 points - 60
ahead of second-place Bay Shore.
