Mounts finish 10th, Harbold to States
- 31 October 2005
Junior Alicia Harbold sprinted to a 30th place finish
overall, qualifying for States in the process, as she led the Lady
Mounts to a 10th place finish overall this weekend in Hershey, PA.
Harbold finished the course in 20:23.73, almost 30 seconds faster than her time last season. Manheim Township was the top L-L finisher as they earned 5th
place, they were followed by Hempfield (8th) and Ephrata. Chambersburg,
who placed all 5 runners in the top 31, easily finished first."Alicia ran a fantastic race. She got away from the start very well and was able to maintain her position throughout the race", noted Coach Steve Sweigart.
The district is young however, only eight seniors finished in the top 40. There were 11 freshmen in the top 40, 8 sophomores and 13 juniors, including the top 4 finishers.
The Mounts are also young, as next season should be even better for the Lady Mounts. Following Harbold were junior Jamie Singer (79th, 21:23.31), sophomore Samantha Fink (98th, 21:39.25), sophomore Brynn Lyons (99th, 21:40.37), senior Kelly Holst (131st, 22:09.17), freshman Dana Haas (136th, 22:13.72) and senior Amber Davies (146th, 22:20.42).
Running well for the boys was junior Brad Sweigart (137th, 18:17.54), sophomore Givi Palagashvili (158th, 18:23. 64) and senior Niraj Amin (210th, 18:49.68). None of the boys qualified for States, thus ending their season.
