Yesterday afternoon, the girls’ cross country team opened the season with a 25-36 victory over Port Jeff on the 2.8-mile course at Sunken Meadow. This is the Bears’ eighth straight victory over the Royals.

Miranda Harrigan found herself in a familiar spot, winning the race by over a minute in 19:05. Lely Garner, who was in 5th place coming through “The Chute” with roughly 400 meters to the finish, kicked her way into 3rd place in a time of 22:26. Sarah Wong (6th place/ 23:01), Anne-Sarah Nichitiu (7th/ 23:13), and Judy Tao (8th/ 23:18) rounded out the scoring for the Bears.

The girls are back on the course on Tuesday vs. Southold at Sunken Meadow.
