SULLIVAN COUNTY, NY - Cross-country season is over and Brendan Devine, Courtney Roosa and Rianne Erlwein are all busy running indoor track.

But in deference to their efforts of the cross-country track season, all three earned recognition from the Orange County Interscholastic Athletic Association (OCIAA) in their annual listing of all-stars for the sport.

Monticello’s Devine was named to the second team of all-stars, Tri-Valley’s Roosa was named to the third team and Sullivan West’s Erlwein was recognized for honorable mention. Devine recently took third place among 15-to-16 year olds in the AAU Nationals held in Orlando, FL.

Roosa was Section IX’s Class C champion and finished 14th in Class C in the state meet held at Warwick. Erlwein finished fifth in Section IX Class C and placed 31 in states out of a field of 131 runners.
