Carlisle has a rich tradiition in XC, as evidenced
by a permanent course, completely
marked for dual meet and invitational 5K, plus men's 8K when hosting
a college
meet. In fact, the course has hosted Division III Regionals and Nationals.
East
Pennboro senior Ryan Blood must feel like he's in a bad cross
country movie called 'Attack of the Novices.' At Gettysburg three
weeks ago, the senior star was 2nd to frosh sensation Craig Miller
of Manheim Township. Miller's twin, Brad, was 4th in the race.
And first time XC runner Brian Fuller of Cumberland Valley,
a junior, was 3rd. But at Carlisle, Fuller used his first experience
to learn the importance of not letting anyone get a gap on you, and
pulled away over the final 400 to win on the great Carlisle home course
in 15:59.4. Craig Miller, staggering slightly in the final
straightaway, held on for 2nd. Blood, fighting allergies, was
3rd, and Brad Miller again garnered 4th. In the other "Challenge",
or "A" race, juniors Kate Papenberg, Red Lion, and
Kylee Schuler, Chambersburg, battled most of the way, before
Papenberg's power gave her the win in 18:37.5. Coatesville
served notice that they are on a fast road to challenging at States
this year by placing four in the top 27 to win the team title with
119 points. Governor Mifflin placed five in the top 31 for
just 68 points behind Nikki Stoyer's 6th place 19:40.88. In
the other two varsity races, North Allegheny swept both. North
Allegheny was registered for the "Challenge" race, but somehow
ended up in the "Champions" race, and didn't get to run
against the better teams. Coatesville was still the better team on
the day. But in the girls' race, it would have been a close call either
way with Governor Mifflin. Upper Merion's Jon Gries won the
2nd varsity race in 16:46.4, while St. Basil's Lynn Morelli
cruised to a 19:03.50 win. North Allegheny also sweeps both JV races.
