Glavin takes 5^th over Lawler at 9^th

Mendon Boys 6^th, Thomas Girls 7^th

Nike NXN Nationals take 2 teams from each of 8 regional meets (New York is the only state that is a whole region) plus 4 at large teams.  They also take 45 individual runners (maybe 5 from each region that are not on a qualifying team plus 5 at large?)

Donny Glavin (McQuaid) likely qualified and Nathan Lawler (Mendon) possibly qualified for Nike NXN Nationals by taking 5^th and 9^th overall at the New York Region qualifier.  After a long season of often racing the same course on the same day, but never running in the same race, they finally went head-to-head and just as Glavin's times have been a second or so faster than Lawler's in post-season, Glavin came out on top head-to-head (of course Lawler's a sophomore, so the next couple years should be fun).

The Pittsford Mendon boys team took 6^th with the Syracuse area dominating as Liverpool beat Manlius (is that FM?) and took the top 2 team spots for Nike’s team nationals.

For the girls Webster Thomas took 7^th as a team and the top Section V runner in the race was Amanda Vestri at 27^th.  Thomas teammate Ellie Songer finished just ahead of Livonia’s Haleigh Palotti as they took 40^th and 41^st.  Manlius won the team championships.

Footlocker Nationals are for individuals, the country is divided into only 4 regions, and 10 runners qualify from each region.

Section V’s top finishers were Wheatland-Chili's Alex Hogue and East Rochester's Dawson Bathgate who took 1-2 (Bathgate in 1^st) at the NYSPHSAA Class D meet, but the positions reversed today as Hogue took 32^nd over Bathgate at 44^th.
