Our Lady of Sorrows cross-country team earns several medals at Holy Trinity race

The Our Lady of Sorrows cross-country team continued its strong season at Holy Trinity in Mountainside on Oct. 15.

Showing no sign of a letdown, the South Orange-based school earned another seven medals, highlighted by three top-three performances.

Maudie Grace Lomuscio grabbed her third straight medal with an 11th place in the opening Girls 3rd & 4th Grade race. The boys followed with their strongest performance of the season – Joe Schmidt in third place, Fionn Tynan in sixth place and Christopher Schmidt in 12th place.  Add Alfonso Dunmeyer and Brendan McKeon, who just missed medals, and OLS is looking at the best 3rd & 4th Grade team in the league next year!

Emma Torres had yet another career best with a third place in the Girls 5th & 6th race, while Halle Jules stunned the OLS crowd with a ninth-place finish, just a week after claiming her best performance with a 13th place!

The scoring closed with Jared Edwards’ third-place finish in the Boys 7th & 8th race. Once again, the top four broke off from the rest of the pack and maintained a furious pace until separating in the last quarter mile.

Not all efforts resulted in medals, but they were worthy of notice. Angelika Ciuffo, Isabel Sabnekar and Christina Paul made strong efforts in the Girls 3rd & 4th race. Ciara McKeon, Molly Donohue, Gwen Oakley and Caroline McKeon completed the team’s strong performance in the Girls 5th & 6th race. Tyler Craig, in his first season, has made continual progress at the 5th & 6th level followed Aryan Sabnekar and Declan Tynan.

The team travels to Bernardsville for the annual Saint Elizabeth Invitational this weekend.
