BEMUS POINT — Rob Liebers, a friend of the Maple Grove cross country program, passed away Monday.

The Red Dragons honored him with a pair of Chautauqua-Cattaraugus Athletic Association victories Tuesday.

Peter Auer finished the Long Point State Park course in 17:19 to lead the Red Dragons (17 points) boys team to three wins over Allegany-Limestone (41), Frewsburg (79) and Cattaraugus-Little Valley (117).

“I told the team that any time they felt like they hurt they were to think of Rob and he would be there with them to take the pain away and help them to the finish line,” Maple Grove head coach Stephen Matteson said. “I was extremely proud of my team today. Many times it is hard to get out of school and run a hard race and these kids did it for Rob.”

Maple Grove’s Ava Crist won the girls race in 19:21 as the Red Dragons finished with 23 points. Allegany-Limestone (51) was second, Frewsburg (78) was third and Cattaraugus-Little Valley (82) was fourth.

Randolph’s Ronan McDonald, left, and Jamestown’s Drew Carlson, run the Martin Road course.

“Our team had multiple runners run their best time of the season,” Matteson said. “Not only were the boys led by a strong performance by Peter Auer, but Riley Auer and Lukas Baer had great races. Ava Crist, Tori Pavlock and Hannah Tarbrake had fantastic finishes also.”
