The second PGXC 2021 race took place on a new course at Everest Park in Auburn under gloriously sunny skies. And talk about a race for the FLRC women, who took home two titles again!
Thanks to photographer Jamie Love, we have lots of great race photos. If anyone on the @pgxc-high-noon or @pgxc-flrc teams also took pictures at the race, please upload them there.
Team Results
The top three FLRC Open women—Jenny Berkowitz, Sarah Codd, and Kathleen Kanaley—finished just 4 seconds apart, with Sarah and Kathleen separated by just 0.1 seconds. They were fourth, fifth, and sixth overall in the race behind Cornell coach Isabella Dobson (running unattached, but we’re recruiting!) and two women from Buffalo’s Checkers squad (including ex-Ithacan Jenny Selig, just 3 seconds in front of Jenny Berkowitz). But Checkers wasn’t able to field a full five-woman team, so Dobson and the Checkers runners fell out of the team scoring, giving us 1-2-3. With Molly Doruska in 11th and Amanda Lockett in 15th, we ended up with a cumulative score of 32, which put us 2 points ahead of the Syracuse Track Club. Sarah Ridenour, Amalia Skilton, and Ashley Brown rounded out the team this week.
