Updated Van Cortlandt Park all-time list

As one final addendum to what was a great XC season, here is the updated Van Cortlandt Park All-Time list for men. The cutoff time is 26:30. Last year (2013), we did not have anyone go sub-26:30, but fortunately this year we did. It also should be noted that the "newer version" of the Vanny course is a bit more challenging as the distance interval between the Back Hills and the Cowpath/Cemetery Hill part of the course is much shorter than the original course. Another longtime coach surmises the difference in difficulty may be as much as 20 seconds. Those things are difficult to quantify, but it is definitely more difficult. Anyway! Here is the updated all-time list:
