Greetings Waverly Cross Country Community. This evening there will be a vigil to support Barb Cook and the Cook family and the family of Harlow who was murdered last Wednesday. The details are below. So much love and support.

Sara and I are unable to attend, but we want to encourage people to attend. Please light a candle for us.

Here is the link to the GoFundMe site that will support the costs of medical treatment for Barb.

Hi Waverly Cross Country Community--

I am heartsick.

I would like to share that Barb Cook was critically injured when she intervened on an attack on her neighbor on Friday. Barb is the mother of Ruthie, Katie, Mary and Brian who ran cross country/track at Waverly High School. They have lived in the neighborhood right behind the school for many years and have six children who all graduated from Waverly. Barb and her husband Jerry were huge supporters and headed up our booster club. I have reached out to the family as they have gone through this nightmare. Barb was struck in the head and underwent brain surgery immediately.

I wish there was more for me to do. Hold the Cook family in your thoughts, in your prayers and in your hearts. There is a GoFundMe set up to raise money for medical expenses. I will share it below.

The Warriors opened their season with the Hoka Postal National Meet Early Season Meet at Grand Woods Park. Both the girls and boys teams are very young (girls have one returning letter winner, the boys have 4), so it was was a great opportunity to see new runners.

The girls were led by Makayla Damico (11) who finished 18th in the 9 team field. Damico, the lone returning letter winner, was 38 seconds faster this year than last. Strong performance were also turned in by two newcomers, Arraya Goggins (9) and Chloe Beach (10) who finished 25th and 28th in field.

The boys finished as strong 3rd place with 96 points in the 9 team field. The Warriors were led by Landon Seiloff (10) and Thaddeus Overley (11) who finished 8th and 10th among 78 finishers. Connor Deyo (11), Luke Owens (11) and newcomer Cruz Torres (10) rounded out the top 5. Deyo improved his time from last year by 38 seconds.

Congrats to first time finishers Ayden Toomey, Anthem Gyuleveszi, Chase Badgley and Ayden Greer!

The team enjoyed great support from family and fans! We are looking for photos from the meet. Please upload your photos to this page/

The Warriors will enjoy the annual Run Under the Lights on Friday night and are back in action on Wednesday at the Saranac Invitational!
