Individuals Breakdown: District 5 Girls & Boys


D5-A Girls - Individuals Breakdown

  • Girls Individuals Rankings
  • State Qualifying Spots For Non-Team Individuals: 5
  • 2017 Champion: Denae Hershberger (Northern Bedford) - 22:00

Northern Bedford's Denae Hershberger will look to defend her District 5 individual title this fall. Last year as a sophomore, Hershberger ran 22:00 to win the district before going on to states to place 127th, the highest of any D5 girl in the field.

Johnstown Christian's Lorna Spiegle was second last year at districts, a year after taking fifth. Heading into her senior year, Speigle will look to close out her career with a district title. She looks to be the best threat to Hershberger's bid for a repeat.

Berlin Brothersvalley's Brooke Cornell, third last year, should also be in contention for the district title. Expect her to mix it up with the favorites. Elise Hutzell of Meyersdale Area and Elizabeth Flaherty of Southern Fulton are among the other girls that could make some noise this fall in D5.
