1998 Upstate New York XC Series
Sept. 12, 1998 Oswego, NY
Matt Annabel of the Genesee Valley Harriers took the lead from two-time Empire St. Games Gold medalist Scott Weeks with
less than 400 meters to go and held on to win the opening race of the 1998 Upstate New York Cross Country Series.
GVH's Linda Grossman, winner of the 1995 series title, captured the women's race with a 16 second victory over Beck Heuer of
Buffalo's Checkers AC.
Annabel, a 1996 Division III cross country All-American at Geneseo St. and Weeks, who captured the 1500m and steeplechase
gold medals at the Empire St. Games in Rochester this summer, took advantage of a wrong turn by Jim Nicholson of the Syracuse Chargers
who led the first Nicholson recovered to finish seventh and lead the deep and talented Charger men to the team title over
their rivals from Rochester, the Genesee Valley Harriers. The GVH women, who captured the series title in 1997, won the women's
title easily over Ithaca's High Noon AC.
Bob Carrol, 41, of the Checkers AC was the top masters finisher (6th overall) with a fast 16:46.9. Patti Ford of the Chargers was the top women's master
(third overall) with a time of 19:45.4.
