THETFORD, Vt. - Oxbow freshman Braelynn Parsons finished 15th in her division race Saturday at the state cross country championships at Thetford Academy, running 23:38.8 in her first season of high school racing.

Coach Katherine Chobanian saw it coming before the season. “Braelynn Parsons is new to HS racing but (is) a veteran runner. She is looking strong in the preseason,” Chobanian said.

Junior Jake Danis, the Olympians’ top boys runner, was 27th in 19:52.0, and sophomore Bentley Rivers was 59th in 22:45.9. Rivers was one of the runners Chobanian singled out for his preseason improvement.

Oxbow is a small team without the numbers to score, so the focus is on individual races. Last fall the Olympians had a top-five finisher in the girls race at states.

Oxbow: Girls, 15. Braelynn Parsons 23:38.8. Boys, 27. Jake Danis 19:52.0; 59. Bentley Rivers 22:45.9.

It was the same score as the teams’ first meeting, a 0-7 Vergennes win at Oxbow on Sept. 23. Vergennes improves to 14-1 and hosts Randolph in the quarterfinals on Saturday.

Oxbow finishes 0-13-2 in the first season under coach Brad DeGoosh. The Olympians’ best results were a pair of scoreless draws, with Mill River on Sept. 19 and with Enosburg on Oct. 3. That Enosburg team won a playoff game on the road Wednesday.

DeGoosh said before the season, “I’m looking forward to coaching this group. They have a lot of potential.” The Olympians say goodbye to a senior group that included returners Addison Marsh, Aneta Morse, Brianna Marsh and Mackenzie Pearl.
