WOODBURY, Oct. 1, 2021 – Depth in the lineup helped the Lewis Mills boys cross country team win the 62nd annual Nonnewaug Invitational meet Friday in Woodbury.
Lewis Mills and Hale-Ray each scored 46 points as determined by the places of the top five runners on each team. The tiebreaker is the No. 6 runner and Mills’ No. 6 runner Joshua Mazur finished 17th while Hale-Ray’s No. 6 runner finished in 28th place, nearly a minute behind Mazur.
Justin Cascio finished second in the race behind Hale-Ray’s Sean Kennedy, who captured the 3.1-mile race in 15:42.4. Cascio was nine seconds back in 15:51. Mills had five runners in the top 15 led by Cascio, Jameson Sederquist in fifth place, Zach Barth (11), Apollo Josephson (13) and Nicholas Atkins (15).
A key finish came from Sederquist, who beat Holy Cross’ Joseph Dane by 0.6 of a second. If Dane had beaten Sederquist, Hale-Ray and Lewis Mills would not have finish tied for first, requiring a tiebreak.
In the girls race, Lewis Mills’ sophomore Ginny Mullens finished third to help lead the Spartans to a second place finish behind East Hampton.
