Tully High School coach Jim Paccia has ranked the nine best runners in Syracuse and 7 run for F-M. They include sophomore Molly Morton who is ranked number 1, freshman Courtney Chapman and Sophomore Mackenize Carter (pictured right). Of the 7 ranked in the top 9 only one is a junior or senior. There are other Cross Country Races going on today at Jamesville Beach. Some of the exciting races are the following:
11 a.m Class B boys: Westhill's Andrew Corcoran (right) will be running in the race try
ing to keep his number 1 state ranking in Class B. Westhill will be chasing its third straight sectional title. The Warriors are currently first in the state.
11:30 am Class C boys: Tully is the defending state champions. They are led by number 1 ranked runner Chris Burke. Other contenders are Holland Patent, Jordan-Elbridge and Canastota.

12:30 pm Class AA boys: There haven't been a lot of league meets this year so this race should be exciting because these racers have not been tested much against each other. Tully runners say Liverpool, Baldwinsville and F-M should be involved in a three way race. Bryan Picciotto of Liverpool and Ethan Hickey of Liverpool are the top rated Class AA runners entering the race.
2:00 pm Class C girls: Skaneateles is the defending state champs, but that doesn't mean much. Skaneateles could be much better than predicted. They beat Tully at Auburn, but have not been performing as well in recent races. Tully beat Canastota by small margins at both the ESM and earlier Chittenango Invites. Canastota's Allison Lasnicki is the favorite.
Even though the races are broken into classes they all run at the same time. The winners are then awarded at the end of the race. Best of luck to all the runners.

Good post. Didn't know anything about local HS track--I'd definitely bookmark this as a definite resource of what's coming up next.
A lot of condensed info. The pictures really lead your eye throughout. Might want to break down the first paragraph into bullet points and start out with an active verb/lead.
No grammatical errors noticed.
Overall, good job!
