Cornwall & Rose roll to wins at Woodberry

WOODBERRY FOREST, VA -- Culpeper County senior Devin Cornwall and Albemarle junior Rachel Rose rolled to dominating victories on the challenging Woodberry Forest Invitational 5K course. Cornwall, fresh off his newly earned #1 ranking in the state and course record breaking performance at Loriella Park two weeks ago, won the boys\' race with ease by a 38 second margin with his 16:26.31 clocking. The Western Albemarle boys (45 pts) won the team title as they were led by race runner-up Will Massie who covered the course in a time of 17:04.50. Rose won by even a wider margin of 62 seconds with her swift time of 18:51.39. Rose was not on anyone\'s radar coming into this fall as a challenger to the state crown but with her early season performances she currently finds herself ranked #2 in Group AAA. Second place finisher Samantha Stafford (19:54.03) of Western Albemarle had to settle for a second place finish for her team as well as the #7 state ranked Brooke Point (47 pts) girls narrowly defeated the #6 state ranked Lady Warriors (48 pts) by a mere point to score a mild upset over the defending Group AA state champs.
