Alibozek & Carpenter win Berkshire County Championship

PITTSFIELD -- Kalyn Alibozek didn't have time to look back for her competition. Her goal -- a county cross country championship -- never changed.

When Pittsfield sophomore Lauren Farry pulled out during the girls race due to illness, no one could catch Hoosac Valley's Alibozek. She covered the Berkshire Community College course in 19 minutes, 56.33 seconds on a cold, windy Saturday afternoon.

"I didn't know she stopped until I was more toward the finish, and everyone said, ‘She's not even behind you,' " Alibozek said. "I just finished the race as strong as I could."

Lenox's Scott Carpenter continued his unbeaten season, coasting to victory in the boys race in 16:02.97. Pittsfield's Dan Brien took second place in 16:58.24.
