SHERBURNE – In its only home outing of the season, Sherburne-Earlville's boys and girls each grabbed one team victory apiece Wednesday afternoon.

Among 37 boys competing over the 2.6-mile layout, S-E senior Ian Benedict was sixth overall timing 17:56. On the girls' side the Marauders' Miranda Wright wound up a team-best 18th out of 42 girls clocking 24:53.

S-E head coach Anne Geary said the course was reduced by half a mile due to course damage suffered from the spring, 2014 run-off. "It was kind of hard to gauge what the times meant, but I think the kids were encouraged by their performances today, and they appreciated the opportunity to perform in front of family and friends," Geary said.
