Germantown Friends

Nick Dahl, assuming he's healthy should easily win the Independent Schools state title, but he's got a solid group behind him. Zach Goldberg and Colin Riley have shown great improvement behind Dahl.

Germantown Academy

Owen Ritz DNF'd at Paul Short, but they'll need him if they want to take down the George School. For now, they're ranked above them, but time could change that. Inter-Acs is up next for GA.

George School

Led by Jeffrey Love, who is really coming around this season, George School could take down GA at the state meet. It should be a great battle. That race will be won with the 4 and 5 runners coming into play big time.

The Haverford School for Boys

Edged out Westtown at Westtown's own invite. Anthony Calvelli leads this squad that lacks a true low stick but has some strong depth to go around.

Westtown School

Ryan O'Donnell is having a strong season and gives his Westtown team a slight edge over independent schools rival The Hill School.
