GREAT BARRINGTON — The Wahconah cross-country teams each had 2-0 days in a meet at Monument Mountain on Wednesday. Meanwhile, the Taconic boys picked up an extra-runner tiebreaker win over the host Spartans.
However, neither Wahconah team saw an individual victor on the day. Those honors went to Hoosac Valley’s Justin Levesque and Monument’s Madeleine Rocheleau-Holmes.
Levesque was untouched in winning his second race in as many weeks. He finished in 14 minutes, 23.86 seconds, more than a minute ahead of his closest competitor, Wahconah’s Riley Gladu. Levesque’s pace clocked in at 5:32. After him, though, Gladu led a swarm of five straight Warriors to secure the team results. Monument’s Colby Sweet was seventh, Mount Everett’s Ben Vella was ninth and Taconic’s Alex Pierce was 10th.
Rocheleau-Holmes’ victory was even more complete. Her 17:02.33 was the top time by nearly two full minutes. Her pace worked out to 6:33. Taconic’s Ahliya Phillips was second in 18:45.00.
The Monument girls also had a 2-0 day, topping Taconic and Mount Everett.
Wahconah’s Jocelyn Sommers was third and Olivia Langenheim fourth. Hannah Walsh led Hoosac Valley in 17th with a 20:23. Mount Everett’s Lucia Cicerchia was 48th in 25:08.
