Chmiel Returns To Freihofer's Run For Top 10 Finish


Once again, just two days after qualifying for the New York State Meet, junior Kelsey Chmiel (Saratoga) took to the streets for a 5k.  She first joined the field last year, placing 9th overall in a loaded professional field.

One year later, and Chmiel was back on the line.  In 2018, she would run 16:44.4, just two seconds off where she placed last year, and took 10th overall, one place back.  Chmiel finished just behind Jen Rhines, a masters runner originally hailing from Liverpool HS.  The race was won by former SU standout Sarah Pagano in 15:47.8.

Other notable NY alum included Julia Zachgo (Shenendehowa '17), Maegan Krifchin (JFK Bellmore '06), and many of the Saratoga XC squad from this past year.
