Last year’s record: 1-6. Nick Scarpello finished 15th in the Boys AAA PIAA State Championship race.

Outlook: “We are hoping to finish in the top half of the very competitive SOL Continental and the top 20 at the district championships.
Matt Bee is on pace to qualify for states individually and hopes to compete with some of the best runners in the area. If we can develop a pack that can consistently break 17 minutes, we might have something special this season.”
Fun fact: “The back half of our top seven looks to be wide open at this time. We have several XC athletes who are new to the sport. We are hoping that they will develop into dependable competitors as the season progresses.”
