MIDDLE ISLAND, NY – The Chenango Bullthistles participated in their third race of the 2017 season – bringing home some solid performances, once again.
Racing on The Pinewood Cross Country course, at Cathedral Pines County Park, the team was somewhat depleted due to the long trip which consisted of a day of driving on Saturday in order to make registration on Sunday morning.
“We had entries in the Freshman Boys, Middle School Girls, Sophomore Boys and JV Boys,” said c-head coach Rob Baker. “About a third of the team made the long trek down, five plus hours (of driving).”
Sunday’s events started off at 9:30 am. We had entries in the Freshman Boys, MS Girls, Sophomore Boys and JV Boys. About a third of the team made the long trek down (5+ hours)...
First up on their respective course – two laps of 5.7 miles, totaling 11.4 miles – four racers took to the freshman course, Nick Loscavio of Norwich, Ethen Eldred of Sherburne-Earlville, Alex Trifunovic of Greene, and Jared Lykins of Greene.
Loscavio would finish sixth, while Eldred glided to a seventh-place finish – both just missing the podium.
Trifunovic would finish in 20th, while Lykins did not finish the race due to a crash over the handle bars.
“The course here was flat, twisty and fast,” said coach Baker.
Following up the freshman boys was the astounding Andrea Trifunovic of Greene who managed to dominate the field in the Middle School Girls division – taking first-place for the second race in a row. Racing on a course of three laps of 2.9 miles – totaling 8.7 miles – Andrea earned the win as a sixth grader for Greene.
“Andrea cruised to winning the race by a large margin, taking the top of the podium for the second race in a row,” said coach Baker. “She’s also the New York State Points Leader for 6th grade girls.”
The afternoon on Sunday, May 7, saw the Junior Varsity and Sophomore riders take the to the course.
The Chenango Bullthistles were represented in the JV race by one rider, Harrison DuBois of Sherburne-Earlville – three laps of 5.7 miles, totaling 17.1 miles. DuBois managed to come out of the course in 13th place.
Team Chenango saw their lone sophomore rider who made the trip – Stanton Baker of Norwich – race to a solid finish at 12th place. Notably, the sophomore race also was 17.1 miles long.
“It was a great trip down and a great day of racing for Team Chenango,” said coach Baker.
After three races, The Bullthistles are ranked 11th out of 23 teams in New York State, moving up two places from where they were after their second race. With two races left in their 2017 five-race season, the Chenango Bullthistles will race next on May 21, when they travel to Liberty, NY to race at the Walnut Mountain XC race.
