Jay Navin
Saratoga Springs • Senior • X-Country
Jay Navin raced to the top overall time, during Tuesday’s meet, as the Blue Streaks finished with another win to remain undefeated.
A consistent leader, Navin has helped the Saratoga Springs Cross Country team to a 9-0 record in the Suburban Council North Division Standings, as Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake trails closely behind with one loss on the season.
Navin’s time of 15:14 was ahead of teammates Aidan Tooker (third, 14:29) and Brent Freestone (fourth, 15:33).
“Jay has shown improvement in every race this year,” said Saratoga Springs head cross country coach Linda Kranick. “He’s doing a great job, he’s a good team leader and he’s on his way to a great senior year.”
Navin and both the boys and girls teams hope to continue their undefeated success in North Carolina for the Great American Cross Country Festival on October 5.
Emily Sharpe
South Glens Falls • Senior • F
Emily Sharpe is leading the Lady Bulldogs with 15 goals (as of October 2) and has helped South Glens Falls to a 7-1 league record (8-3 overall).
Sharpe is at the forefront of an experienced team made up for eight seniors and nine juniors who matched last year’s win total with a 2-1 double overtime win against Glens Falls on Tuesday.
“[Sharpe] continues to be very aggressive in the circle and around the goal,” said South Glens Falls head field hockey coach Mary Ponda. “Her ability to move the ball up the field has greatly improved and that’s because her stick work has improved. Her confidence in herself and her teammates along with her continued hard work has helped her develop into the player she has become.”
Sharpe had a goal and an assist in Tuesday’s win.
