Cornell’s Katy Storti, a senior from Cinnaminson and Bishop Eustace, placed 5th out of 68 runners Saturday in the Fordham Fiasco at Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx, N.Y.
Storti covered the 5,000-meter layout at the legendary course in 19:30 and finished just 27 seconds behind Elvira Bredin of Temple, who covered the challenging course in 19:03.
What makes this race a fiasco? I guess the fact that the results don’t indicate what school any of the runners are from. Have you ever seen this before?
But it looks like Storti was Cornell’s 3rd finisher. Team scoring? You’re guess is as good as mine. It’s not listed anywhere in these results, and I don’t have the time to start figuring out where every runner is from and adding up points!
But either way, a strong race for Storti, who ran 17:34.75 for 5,000 meters on the track at the Armory in February and was on the 2019 Cornell XC team that placed 2nd in the NCAA Division 1 Northeast Regional in Amherst, N.Y., and raced in the NCAA Championships in Terre Haute, Ind.
