Andover Falls to Exeter in Final Dual Meet of Year
Phillips Academy Cross Country traveled to Phillips Exeter Academy for the second time this past Saturday 11/5. The weather was unseasonably warm and humid--comfortable for fans but perhaps less than ideal for racers. The meet featured three races-- Boys' Varsity at 3:15pm, Girls' Combined Varsity/JV at 3:35pm, and Boys' JV at 4pm. In all Andover claimed victory in one-- Boys' JV-- of the day's four contests.
Emma Hagstrom '25 led the way for Big Blue on the girls' side. After that, sisters Ashley Song '23 and Chloe Song '26, Tasha Bohorad '26, Naima Reid '25, Maya Tang '23, and Chloe Kindangen '23 rounded out the Varsity seven (scoring 4th, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th, and 7th for the team respectively). The final girls' varsity score was Exeter 19, Andover 40.
The final girls' JV score was Exeter 17, Andover 44. Andover's top JV placers were Vanessa Fan '23, Amelia Vinton '23, Emily Ryan '25, Carol Gomez '23, Lily Williamson '25, Alison Schneider '26, and Emily Wu '25.
The team will race one final time this season in the NEPSAC Division 1 Cross Country Championship on Saturday 11/12 at St. Paul's School.
