Kutztown Invitational

Kutztown University

3.1 miles

Sunny, Warm

Pottsgrove's Corey Rogers picked up where he ended his last XC season, in front. He took Saturday's Kutztown Invitational in 16:51 by five seconds over Conrad Weiser's Chris Muldoon. According to Kutztown University coach Ray Hoffman, Muldoon made a late charge after Rogers had led from the start. Chambersburg took the boys title over a strong AA team from Wyomissing by 31 points.  Ephrata was third, and Strath Haven, fourth. 

In the girls' race, Springfield Delco's Stefanie Thomas beat the Huss twins of Wyomissing with her 19:27. Juniors Debbie and Amy were second and third, two and six seconds back, respectively. Hoffman relayed that the Huss twins had a 40-50 meter lead on Thomas until two miles, when Thomas pulled even. With 300 meters left, Amy Huss dropped off, and at 200 meters to go, Thomas took a three-stride lead on Debbie Huss. Last year's District 3 champion and state medalist, soph Kylee Schuler of Chambersburg, was fourth in 19:47. Chambersburg girls took the team title by just two points over Wyomissing. Cardinal O'Hara, led by Katie Irwin's fifth place finish in 19:54, placed third, 20 points behind Wyomissing.
