A trio of PA-Stowe athletes, Isabella Mitchell, Sofie Carlson and Malinn Sigler, finished fifth, sixth and seventh, respectively, in the 300-meter hurdles. The team of Mitchell, Elizabeth Craig, Olivia Gianni and Meghan Kimball was sixth in the 4x100-meter relay and the team of Carlson, Sigler, Brianna Reeve and Challie Vicary was sixth in the 4x400-meter relay.
The top individual finishers for the PA-Stowe boys were Roshawn Russell, third in high jump, and Miles Mitchell, fourth in javelin.
The PA-Stowe team of Ben Craig, Bobby Jones, Joseph Deven and Rashane Russell edged a team from rival Lamoille to finish third in the 4x400-meter relay and the Russell twins teamed up with Jones and Gavin Schleupner to finish fifth in the 4x100-meter relay.
Craig was also fifth in the 1,500 meters and sixth in the 3,000 meters, where he edged teammate John Lackey (seventh). Lackey also finished sixth in the 300-meter hurdles.

Burlington’s Milo Trabulsy and Duncan Macdonald teamed up for nine goals to beat the cooperative squad from Peoples Academy-Stowe in the season opener for both.
Trabulsy had five scores for Burlington and Macdonald four; each player also had an assist, and Curtis Plante had three goals and three assists.
Jace Boerger’s three-goal, two-assist outing paced PA-Stowe, which also got two scores from Hans Huber. Rowan Pinkham and Clark Brown each added single scores and Oliver Ogden made five saves in goal.
Burlington goalie Sullivan Weston made 10 saves.
This is the fifth straight season the Raiders have dropped their first game of the spring.
“The Stowe High School boys lacrosse program continues its tradition of losing its opening game,” coach Michael Loughran said, adding that those losses stem in part from the fact the team is often trying different strategies and personnel in the first few games of the year.
“It usually results in some pretty ugly lacrosse early in the season, but if history repeats itself, we will eventually find our way,” Loughran said.
