Rueben Hampton was Masterman's top overall finisher, 2nd in 17:11, but the day's top finisher was Nueva Esperanza's Alfredo Santana, who beat the field by :38 seconds with winning time of 16:33.

On the girl's side, the team race came down to a 4-way battle spread by just 11 points, with Central coming out on top.  Paul Robeson scored 66 pts, just behind Mastmerman with 65 pts, and Girls High with 62 pts.  But Central's 55 pts was enough to seal the deal, led my Mary Morgan's 1st place overall finish in 20:11.

As the leaves are turning the cross country season is starting to heat up and so is Seneca Valley.  At the second annual Kiski Area Invitational Seneca Valley dominated the competition winning both the varsity individual championships and the team championships.  In the girls race Megan Powell led from start to finish.  Powell’s course record of 20:02 (former record held by Bethany Walker of Ellwood City 20:04) took first by over one minute in front of teammate Erin Lopresti.  The boys’ race was much closer as Penn Hills’ Charles Anderson couldn’t catch returning champion Cam Stauffer who bested his own course record finishing in 17:08. The course boasts one significant hill – raced three times.
