Brophy, Chittum leading the way for Ely

Posted

HOYT LAKES— Ely runners here had another strong outing on Tuesday as the girls team claimed second among five teams with 55 points, while the boys took third in a field of seven with 79 points.
Ely freshman Molly Brophy finished in fifth place overall in a field of 43 runners with a 5K time of 20:53.7. Ely junior Caid Chittum took sixth among 36 racers on the boys side, with a time of 17:39.1. Both Brophy and Chittum have been Ely’s top finishers on the girls and boys teams all season and are looking strong ahead of next week’s sectional competition in Coleraine.
Ely girls finished second in the team competition thanks in part to strong races by eighth-grader Mattie Lindsay (21:45.6) and senior Claire Blauch (21:56.4) who finished in tenth and 14th place respectively. Senior Grace LaTourell finished in 21st place with a time of 23:23.5.
For the boys, the team saw help from junior Silas Solum, who finished 13th with a time of 18:45.5, and freshman Brenny Brooks who finished 16th with a time of 18:51.1.
