Greenwich's Abigail Markowitz finished third Tuesday in the state Open cross country meet at Madison's Hammonasset State Park. She was the only female runner to place in the top 10.  

Markowitz, who posted a time of 18:56, finished behind Glastonbury's Reid Watson (18:35) and Northwestern's Annmarie Tuxbury (18:52). She helped the Cardinals to a third-place finish in the team competition.

Sarah Fountain finished 18th for Greenwich (19:28), followed by Jennnifer Goggin (30th, 19:54); Elizabeth Markowitz (71st, 20:35) and Phoebe Staab (99th, 21:03).

The Greenwich football team has climbed to second in the FCIAC rankings (ahead of New Canaan) and can clinch a spot in the FCIAC championship game with a win at Danbury (4-3) on Thursday.

Since Greenwich (7-0) plays early, it would have luxury of sitting back and waiting for its opponent in the Nov. 18 title game at Trumbull's McDougall Stadium.

It probably would be be Staples, which can clinch a berth with a win Saturday at winless Bassick, although the Wreckers will be without top runner Joey Zelkowitz (separated shoulder).

Even if the Wreckers should somehow lose to the Vikings, they still might have enough bonus points to qualify for the FCIAC championship game.

New Canaan's lost kept five teams at least mathematically alive for the FCIAC title game. Here are the rankings after the weekend:

1. Staples (7-0) 131.3

2. Greenwich (7-0) 122.5

3. New Canaan (7-1) 115.6

4. Norwalk (6-1) 112.5

5. Darien (7-1) 110.0

If Greenwich loses at Danbury, New Canaan can jump back into the No. 2 spot with a win over Trumbull (2-5).

Norwalk needs losses by Greenwich and New Canaan while Darien (which hosts winless Bassick) needs losses by Greenwich, New Canaan and Norwalk.

In the CIAC Class LL state rankings, Greenwich is 10th with two games remaining. The Cardinals are among seven teams with one loss, including No. 4 Norwalk.

It appears that Greenwich will need to beat Staples on Thanksgiving to climb into the top eight and qualify for the state playoffs.
