The individual standings show Patrick Swift from the Mohegan Striders as the strong contender for both the Open and Master's 2008 Men's State Champion. While Brittany Heninger from the Woodbridge Running Company looks like a shoe in...for the Open 2008 Women's State Champion, defending master's champion, Cheryl Cunningham from the Hartford Track Club might have a shot at a repeat for 2008.
