The Foot Locker Cross Country Championships returned to Van Cortlandt Park for the Northeast Regional qualifier. Solomon Haile of Sherwood HS (MD) and Emily Jones of The Bromfield School (MA) prevailed in the boys’ and girls’ seeded races posting times of 15:21 and 17:31, respectively.
Solomon Haile broke out to an early lead and never looked back as he finished 15 seconds ahead of second place finisher Tyler Udland from Short Hills (NJ). Udland edged out Joe Whelan, who finished in third place with a time of 15:38.
In the girls’ race, Aisling Cuff, a sophomore at Cornwall Central HS (NY), led with less than one mile remaining.
