Junior Catie Eisenhut made big waves on the Upstate New York Cross-Country scene this past week, finishing 2nd overall in regional race that drew more than 250 runners and then setting a new course record at Lansing's home XC meet.
On Saturday Sept. 22, Lansing XC trekked up north of Syracuse for the Baldwinsville Invitational, a mega-meet that draws the top cross-country programs and runners from throughout the region. The Lady Bobcats varsity XC team competed against 44 other schools and finished 3rd overall, led by Eisenhut's headturning 2nd place overall finish (18:20.2 on the 2.95-mile course) in the field of 263 racers. Perhaps just as impressively, Lansing eighth-grader Kinsley Jacobs finished 5th overall (19:11.1), and the other three top Lady Bobcat placed in the top third of finishers (junior Teresa Garcia 35th, Sophomore Hana Thibault 66th, Senior Allison Keefe 73rd).
