Neila Thomas glad to be back off the injured reserve
LHS was faced with some stiff competition at Tuesday’s Whitney Point Invitational. The Varsity Boys team managed to beat out 7 other schools only to lose to Vestal and Union Endicott, both schools whose population is three times greater than Lansing. Jon Cleveland (17:56) and Josh Barber (18:05) placed 5th and 6th followed by Luke Davis in 22nd (19:44), George Wigsten in 23rd (19:45), Dan Comisi in 38th (20:57) and Alex Rogers in 50th (22:09). These times were nearly all improvements from last year’s competition.
