The JV team also finished third as the top five scorers all finished in the top 25 and contributed to the effort: Chris Van Zetta, Kyle Foster, Brian McConkey, Dave Marthy and Brian O’Connor. The Frosh team, running without the top five 9th graders who moved up to the longer races on Saturday, were led by 8th graders Caleb Mellon and Adam Schwenzfeier who both completed the Saratoga Frosh Course in times that were in the top five ever run by a Shaker runner.
The Girls Varsity, without its top two runners finished 8th as Zosia Dunn and Kate Martel were the top Shaker finishers. The Girls JV finished in a 5th place tie with the top finish by Christine Hall. The Girls Frosh team finished in a tie for second place.
