XC Dominates Ave Invite

Although Hurricane Helene left brutal humidity in her path, the runners for CSN were undaunted at the Ave Invite.

Sienna Audrey won the girls Varsity by a sizable margin, 15 seconds ahead of the second-place competitor. Our team had six of their top-7 runners cross the finish line in under 20th place and easily won the meet. Behind Sienna were Elizabeth Hobbs earning a 6th place ribbon (22:35) and Anna Kate Casto earning the 9th place ribbon (22:53). Right on their heels were Hanna Hagenbuckle in 12th (23:05), Rose O’Malley in 14th (23:06) and Mia Schmieding in 17th (23:20). Noelle Alsokary rounded out the Varsity squad. There were 87 runners in the race and 12 full teams.

The boys were just shy of joining the girls as meet champions. They tied in the team points for 1st place but lost the tie-break to SFCA (the tie goes to the 6th runner). Hudson Casto continued his successful streak by winning a 3rd place t-shirt (17:53). Teammate Noah Mansson was close behind to win a 10th place ribbon (18:30). CSN had five boys in the top 25: Gabe Alsokary in 14th (19:39), Luke Campbell in 17th (19:52), and Bennett Talford in 21st (20:29). The Varsity squad was rounded out by Anderson McAdams and Miguel Augustine. There were 12 teams in the race and 87 runners.

The JV teams both had enough runners to score team points. Christian DeSalvo and Will Gavin broke into the top-10 (7th and 10th respectively), while Stella Massoll, Shanaya Goemaere, and Mimi Goldberg were in the top-10 for the girls on complete teams. Because they ran the boys and girls combined, there were no individual results for the JV girls. The boys team was 2nd out of four teams and the girls were 3rd of three. There were 69 athletes in the Mixed JV Race.
