Who to compare

Martinec and Dininny placed second and third at Conwicke-Stock, ahead of Whittaker. At Marathon, Whittaker won the seeded girls race in 20:44.5, Martinec followed in 20:49.5 and Dininny in 20:50.2. The first three were separated by 5.7 seconds.

Bercuvitz is the leading large-school girls seed after winning Saratoga in 16:31.8. Ithaca’s full lineup makes the team preview different from Marathon, where Bercuvitz was not in the seeded girls finish list and Corning won 38–75.

Explore: Avery Whittaker, Bella Martinec, Kateland Dininny, Tsadia Bercuvitz, Mattea Dauria, Skyler Lovenheim, Addie Fenton.

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.
