MOXC fielded full teams in every class race for the first time in its history this past Saturday, 9/11, at Horseshoe Lake Park. Since this meet uses a 4-person scoring system as opposed to the normal lowest 5 runner total, the Marauders scored in each of the 6 races.
The best team showing came in the freshmen girls' race, where the young, untested squad were beaten out by one point. Atalia Bermudez led the way, taking 5th, and Lindsay Schafer a 9th. A pack of 14-15-16-17 showed a promise of big things in later meets in the season.
Their boy classmates took 3rd in their race right before the girls. Eddie Garcia debuted by taking 5th place also. The boys had 5 in the top 28 to all grab medals.
Both the soph and jr/sr girls teams took 4th. Ashley Torres and Marissa Karl teamed up to grab 7th and 8th. Jackie Pignataro also got a medal in 22nd. The jr/sr girls placed 5 in the top 26 with Steph Smith leading the way in 12th. Alex Schneeberg (21), Sam Tavalare (22:18), Ellen Kraemer (23), and Danielle Halikias (26) showed great pack running like the frosh girls.
The jr/sr boys were in the largest field of the day and took 6th overall, running a 17:49 average. Zach Miller (24th--17:28), Steve Wagner (29th--17:44), and Scott Rennalls (30th--17:45) finished close to each other throughout the race. Mike Artiglere finished the scoring in 44th.
The soph boys were 8th with Nick Miele taking a medal in 29th.
Next up is the first NJAC meet at Greystone Park on Tuesday, 9/14. M.O. faces Morris Hills, Sparta, Mendham, and Roxbury.
