Who to compare

Lawson finished third in Marathon’s seeded boys race in 17:06.0, 19.6 seconds ahead of Boscia’s seventh-place 17:25.6. Corning won that team race 34–69 over Ithaca.

Lawson leads STAC’s large-school boys seed list. Corning and Ithaca remain the principal Class A team comparison. The fifth scorer matters as much as the individual leader.

Explore: Christopher Lawson, William Boscia, Alasdair Smith, Ashtyn Stark, Wyatt Eldermire.

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.
