2002 Foot Locker
finalist Ian Gottesfeld (L) and Greg Williams will run as a 1-2 team
again for Henderson,
one of the favorites in AAA, but Williams says this is the
first time all year he will race for the win.
Team: Many teams contending. Henderson's great 1-2 punch (Gottesfeld
and Williams) vs the packs of Cedar Cliff and Coatesville. And you can't
ignore Carlisle, North Hills and Mount Lebanon.
Individual: Defending champ Ian Gottesfeld has to fight off
several strong runners, including his own teammate, Greg Williams. From
the West come James O'Toole and Ian Fitzgerald. Brian Fuller and Craig
Miller may get separated finally.
Team: US#23 Hatboro-Horsham will try to defend its title against
recent champions Allentown Central Catholic and Parkland, with Chambersburg
and North Allegheny lurking if these three falter.
Individual: Allentown Central Catholic sr Frances Koons is on
target for her first state championship. Also in the running are
Katie Thaeder of Unionville, Liz Kearins of Central Bucks West, Janelle
Young of Cedar Cliff, Kate Papenberg of Red Lion, and Marissa Umbel of
Indiana.
Team: Scranton Prep tries for four-peat with a good pack overcoming
the loss of Foot Locker finalist Jon Pastore. But Chris Spooner is primed
to lead Lewisburg to the trophy.
Individual: Chris Spooner, who ran well against national competition
at Great American, is favored in a close call over Westmont Hilltop sr
Dave Mock, who broke Dan Coval's course record at Steel City on a rainy
day in October. But the story doesn't end with these two. Jed Christiansen
of Greenville, Brian Soder of Harbor Creek and Grant Allen of Eisenhower
are added to the mix in what Don Rich calls "a race for the PA XC history
books."
Team: Gwynedd Mercy Academy has the talent to stop Wyomissing's
championship streak at 4 years, but Wyomissing has the winning way.
Individual: Gwynedd Mercy's ace Kate Vernon and Adriene Beltz
of Hamburg are favored. Also in the running are Lynn Morelli of
St. Basil, Nicole Smith of Mercer, Lindsay Petri of General McLane, Aryn
Gruneisen of Fairview, and Christa Plummer of Palisades.
