* Top 8 advance to national finals at Disney World, Orlando
FL, December 8
Don Rich's Pennsylvania view
by Don Rich, publisher of PennTrackXC
An unbelievable day for Pennsylvania, as Jessica
Cickay, Stephanie Madia, and Andy Weilacher travel to New York and
win a ticket to Orlando in two weeks for the national championship
of cross country, the Foot Locker finals.
Cickay, of Council Rock, who finished second to
Madia in the AAA state championships November 3rd, finished 6th
in 18:20, 32 seconds behind two-time champion Natasha Roetter of
Massachusetts. Madia hustled in six seconds later to claim the 8th
and final coveted spot. Erin Franklin, who was 6th at the PA state
race, nearly broke into the top eight, getting 12th place just 15
seconds behind Madia. Mansfield's Charity Learn placed 36th in her
only Foot Locker appearance in 19:19. Last year's 10th place finisher,
junior Angie Saterstad of Hershey, finished 44th. Wyomissing's Amy
Huss was 47th in 19:30. And AA state champ Jesi Christiansen was
51st. Girls' Race Description, Quotes and Photos coming Sunday AM.

Eisenhower's Andy Weilacher, the AA state champ,
skipped the Mid-East Regional meet last Saturday to "maintain
his focus" for the Foot Locker meet, and it paid off with a
3rd place finish in 15:34, just 5 seconds out of first. AAA champ
Dan Mazzocco, Baldwin, lost momentum on the hills approaching mile
two, and finished 14th in 16:04, 21 seconds behind 8th place. Coatesville's
Rob Robertson was 20th in 16:09. Other top 50 PA finishers included
Joel Thomas, Emmaus, 24th in 16:10 (the final medalist); Ryan Blood,
an East Pennsboro junior, 29th in 16:22; Council Rock senior Rob
Hampson, 34th in 16:24; Henderson sophomore Ian Gottesfeld, 35th
in 16:26 (the 4th fastest soph OF THE DAY); Council Rock senior
Mike DiDio, 40th in 16:28, and Pottsgrove senior Corey Rogers, 49th
in 16:34. Boys' Race Description, Quotes and Photos coming Sunday
