The tech girls cross-country team showcased their talent and promise in this year’s cross country season. Runners consistently placed in the top 20 in all of their races, showing that Tech will stay a powerhouse for years to come.

At the P.S.A.L. Cross Country City Championships, seven tech girls competed in the varsity race, placing fifth as a team in a field with twenty different teams. The runners placed 4th, 37th, 38th, 39th, 41st, 49th, and 95th, just missing a team spot at the NY State Federation Championships. Gathering a total of 159 points, our cross-country team only came in behind Curtis High School, Port Richmond High School, Benjamin N. Cardozo High School, and Townsend Harris.

Leading the team was Junior Anne Laure White, placing fourth in the varsity race of theP.S.A.L. Cross Country City Championship. White showed dominance throughout the season;  she placed first at races like Mayors Cup Cross Country Championship and Brooklyn Borough Championships. White also qualified individually for New York State Federation with a time of 19:59.83.

Other runners such as Rebecca Baron, Isis Wyche, Rachel Francis, Winny Chen, Janice Fong, Ji Sun Lee and Lisa Je contributed significantly to Tech’s success at many races during the cross-country season. At Brooklyn Borough Championship, these runners helped Tech take first place among 16 other teams in the borough.
