Picture of right after the start as they run through what looks like the Hudson River!

That's our Allison Linnell running in the middle of the picture.  (courtesy of armorytrack.com)

The girls finish 6th, but 5th in the Northeast, just 19 pts out of 3rd.  (Check team scoring and rankings below.)  Ashley finishes 5th with Bri 6th as they become the 2nd and 3rd fastest Shore Conference runners ever behind only Cate Guiney's 14:37.5 in 1998.  (But did she run in a monsoon?)  Armorytrack.com wrote this about the race:

Girls Eastern States

In what many were billing as the deepest race in the history of the meet as well as maybe the deepest race ever held in the Northeast, the Saratoga girls won for the 6th straight year, holding off a strong Hilton, NY squad, 133-147.  Saratoga's Hannah Davidson and Lindsey Ferguson finished 3-4 to lead the squad.  Defending Footlocker National Champion Ailinn Ryan won in 14:04, beating 2nd place by 38 seconds.  Her time ranks her 3rd best ever at VCP, missing Nicole Blood's record of 13:58 set last year, though most track nuts say that this performance, based on the treacherous conditions, will go down as the best ever here at Manhattan.
