Mounts Girls win Three, lose to Township
- 11 October 2005
The Ephrata Mounts girls team were finished before the fourth
runner ever crossed the finish line on Tuesday. Their bid to upset a
slightly favored Township team ended in a close 25-30 loss. Manheim
Township finished 1-2-3 sealing the victory over the Mounts. Alicia
Harbold led the Mounts with a fifth place time of 20:49. Following her
was Jamie Singer (6th; 20:59), Brynn Lyons (7th; 21:02), Dana Haas
(9th; 21:24) and Sam Fink (11th; 21:34).The Mounts top five all finished ahead of Township's fourth place runner, but as stated earlier the Mounts were already mathematically eliminated.
The Girls were clearly strong enough to dispose of Elco 17-50, and gathered forfeit wins from both Elizabethtown and Lebanon.
That's right, Elizabethtown forfeited the last match of the year to Ephrata. Don't expect any type of turmoil over this.
The Mounts finished the season in third place at 19-2 behind Township (20-1) and Lancaster Mennonite (21-0).
The boys team split their match, losing to a dominate Township team 15-55. The Township boys outdid their girls team, as they sent the first 6 boys across the finish line.
The boys lost a close one to Elizabethtown 26-34, but defeated Lebanon 19-39.
The Mounts were led by Givi Palagashvili (11th; 18:00) and Brad Sweigart (12th; 18:12) and crowd favorite Niraj Amin (14th; 18:46).
The Mounts who ran most of the season without their number one runner finished the regular season 6-15.
