Congratulations to the Albemarle Girls! See Meet Results under.....Meet Results!!!!!
Below is the coverage on the meet from MileStat's website.
From Brandon Miles at http://va.milesplit.com/:
The Albemarle girls made it a complete sweep for the Patriots as after a tight race with defending Cup champions Western Albemarle through three legs and actually being behind going into the final leg, returning All-State cross country runner Allison Huschke not only re-claimed the lead for Albemarle but continued to build a huge margin for the rest of her 2 mile leg. The Albemarle junior Huschke ran the fastest split in the field at 12:11 with her teammate Ciera Ulan as opener clocking the second fastest overall at 12:29 to help the Albemarle girls win by nearly as large of a margin as their male counterparts with a final time of 51:08. Their eventual comfortable win could have potentially been even larger with junior Kirsten Smith actually running the third fastest split by any Albemarle runnerat 12:45 but as opening leg on the "B" team which placed third.
The Western Albemarle girls were not at full strength as they were missing one of their top returners in Peri Boswer, but also are in a bit of a rebuilding mode after losing a great senior class of runners from last fall including Mattie Webb, Killian O'Connell, and Emily Moffett. Still left from last year's podium squad includes Boswer and sub 2:20 half miler Katie Farina, who split 12:37 on the first leg. One newcomer who will be making an impact for their squad this season is freshmen Annie Taylor, who actually took the lead from Albemarle on her second leg with a 12:49 split.
Of the top 8 splits in the meet for the girls, only two runners were not from either Albemarle or Western Albemarle. Fluvanna County sophomore Nicole Douma was clocked at 12:40 on second leg, while Madeline Hermsmeier trailed only behind Albemarle's Ulan and Western's Farina on the leadoff leg at 12:42.
