Welcome, everyone, to the inaugural edition of the Jois Report, the world\'s first attempt at regular, exclusive, and in-depth coverage of Virginia Independent Schools cross country and track. We will be kicking off with a recap of the 2005 cross country season for private schoolers. In the future, you can expect much more frequent, possibly weekly, coverage.
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.
