Craftsbury Runners at Vermont XC State Meet

The 2019 Craftsbury Academy Chargers!

On Saturday, October 26th, teams from across Vermont convened at the legendary Thetford Academy cross country course to compete in the Division 1, 2 and 3 Vermont State Championship races. In the Division 3 boys race, the Craftsbury Academy team put in an impressive showing to place fourth in a tight team competition. Craftsbury Charger Cormac Leahy led the way with a second place finish in 17:29, followed closely by teammate Charlie Krebs in fourth in 18:03. Rounding out the Chargers’ team score were Orion Cenkl in 21st (19:44) and Alan Moody in 34th (20:25). David Moody and Aidan Moffat ran strong races as well to place 81st and 90th, with times of 23:57 and 25:48, respectively. As a squad of mostly freshman runners, the team is looking forward to three strong years of cross country running together. Craftsbury junior Nordic racer Eli Smith of Peoples Academy was right in the mix as well, finishing 6th in 18:19.

On the girls side, Craftsbury Charger Camille Bolduc placed second in the Division 3 race in a time of 20:23, good for the 7th fastest time of the day among all divisions!
