Girls' SOL National Conference Championship
You may have counted out Pennsbury this season.But the Falcons, who have won five of the last six PIAA Class-AAA state championships, proved that you'd be mistaken for doing that. Pennsbury, behind a win from Mary Webb, took home the SOL National Conference, fending off surprise second place Neshaminy, as well as Council Rock South and Council Rock North.
Webb, who had a hamstring injury that kept her out for most of last spring and the beginning of this XC season, returned in her first non-dual meet appearance of the year on Friday and took the win in 19:29. Despite a wrong turn a little after the mile, she got back on track and claimed the victory. Watch Webb's post-race interview below:
Abington's Kelly Jawork continued her strong senior season, placing second in 19:37. Pennsbury's Chloe Connor was third and CR South freshman Marissa Kilgarriff was fourth.
Getting back to the state meet again will be a tough task for the Pennsbury girls, but Friday was a step in the right direction for sure.
