STAC girls small: published seed #4

Conference seed mark: 20:45.00. The conference list does not identify its race date or course. It is a seed reference, not an additional 2026 finish or a season-best claim.

No September 12–October 23 finish was verified for this athlete in the reviewed results. The October 22 STAC seed-list entry is retained as a seed reference.

Who to compare

Houser led Heath by 19.0 seconds in Owego’s varsity girls race on September 25 (19:31.8 to 19:50.8). Heath finished ahead at Pete Matzke on October 2 (20:29.1 to 21:04.6). Houser then ran 20:55.4 at Marathon, 21.6 seconds ahead of Little in the same seeded race.

All three are in STAC’s small-school girls discussion. At sectionals, Heath’s Class B watch separates from Houser and Little’s Class C watch. Chenango Forks’ depth is the team story. Arianna Hepler is on the current seed list, with no new finish verified in this review.

Explore: Lyla Houser, Sarah Heath, Clara Little, Grace Harkness, Lena Lindow, Ella Goodrich, Katherine Yahner, Rebecca Yahner.

STAC awards large-school and small-school titles. Section IV uses Classes A–D, so league rivals can separate at sectionals. This is a Confluence watchlist based on published results and seeds, not a final sectional entry list. Race places belong to their own divisions. Different XC courses and distances are not directly comparable.

Sources: Section IV published result history, October 22 conference seeds and the linked meet reports. Times keep the precision in the reviewed result history. Course distances are shown only where identified in the meet materials. 2026 Section IV handbook. Final entries and later timer corrections take precedence.
