SARANAC LAKE — Saranac Lake’s girls cross country team picked up a pair of wins in their first road meet of the season Tuesday, while the boys squad split against its competitors.

Competing at Point Au Roche State Park in Plattsburgh, the Red Storm girls topped the Beekmantown Eagles 23-37 and beat the Seton Catholic Knights 15-50.

Racing without its top runner, Jake Kollmer, Saranac Lake’s boys suffered a 15-44 loss to the Eagles but topped the Knights 15-50. Neither Seton Catholic boys or girls teams had enough runners to compete.

Beekmantown’s Olivia Drowne won the girls race with a time of 21 minutes, 40 seconds, followed by Saranac Lake’s Cadence Kennedy (22:46) and Asa Bruno (22:43).

Red Storm runners occupied seven of the top 10 spots to win the race. Clementine Guenette (23:21) was fifth, Addi Ash (24:20) was sixth, Lila Zobel (24:24) was seventh, Lizzie Harvey (24:36) was eighth and Lauryn Caldwell (25:03) was 10th.

On the boys side, the Eagles’ Nolan Laidman was the overall winner in the boys race in 17:13, while Seton Catholic’s Colby Chase was second in 17:51. The Eagles’ Maxime Page (18:22) placed third, Loghan Strickland (18:23) was fourth and Samuel Page (18:34) was fifth.

Keaton Daley was the top runner for Saranac Lake, placing seventh overall in 18:48. The team’s scorers were rounded out by Emmett VanBuskirk (19:18) in eighth, Alex Evans (19:25) in ninth, Liam Fletcher (19:37) in 10th and Ebin Meissner (19:51) in 12th.

Following the meet, the Red Storm cross country teams will compete in an invitational meet at the Cadyville Recreation Park on Saturday against the Section VII schools. The team will return to Cadyville next Tuesday at 4:30 p.m. for a meet against Northeastern Clinton, Peru and Saranac Central.
