Week One Recap

Girls

CHSAA Practice Meet @ Van Cortlandt Park

Stuyvesant placed 2^nd overall in the 4K Varsity race. They were paced by sophomores Eliam Brody (6^th) and Isla Broadbent (7^th).

Townsend Harris finished 7^th, led by an impressive 2^nd place finish by Natalia Piszczatowski, who covered the 4K course in 17:08. 

Francis Lewis placed 8^th of the 12 teams. Sophomore Devora Tonkonog led them with a 32^nd place finish in 20:43.

Mount Academy Invitational @ Mount Academy, Esopus, NY

The LaGuardia girls went north this weekend and finished 5^th of 21 teams. Junior Sigrid Lussier led the way for the Lions, finishing 20th in 21:13. But that sound you heard was the collective groan of the PSAL girls coaches realizing that LaGuardia will likely have yet another Fast Freshman™. Ninth grader Naya Gaudissard opened up her career with a 22:36 on a difficult course and will likely dip under 22 minutes before the season ends.

BHXC PSAL Rankings – After Week One

1. LaGuardia - Not an overly impressive debut by the five girls who did compete, but they’ve got margin for error.

2. Susan Wagner - No SIHST&FA Season Opener on the schedule this year, their racing season hasn’t started yet.

3. Brooklyn Tech - IDLE

4. Hunter College Campus - IDLE

5. Stuyvesant - Four of the six girls who competed this weekend were sophomores and they put on a decent showing.

6. Bronx Science - According to their Instagram account, they haven’t even held tryouts yet.

7. Townsend Harris - Senior Natalia Piszczatowski is off to a fast start this season, breaking 21 minutes at Warwick last week and placing 2^nd this weekend. Unfortunately, in both races her teammates have finished more than two minutes after her.
