Nov 3: A little twilight zone to the Boyertown back-to-back  in AAA | Central Cambria won a title. But they took home so much more. | Coatesville doen't rebuild. They reload. | Cross country rings true in Wellsboro. | Experienced coach, expert spotters, and soccer lead North East to 9th state title. Oct 27: PODCASTS: Wellsboro and Shikellamy surprised and Lewisburg delivered in D4. Dallas' boys competed well in D2. Liberty swept individual titles and advanced two teams to states, Emmaus was Emmaus in D11. Henderson's Chris Aldrich and Carly Hamond caputured individual crowns and St. Basil held off Christopher Dock in D1. Oct 20: Winning streaks were preserved at the big Tri-State Coaches Association meet on October 28th at Cooper's Lake in Slippery Rock. Baldwin senior David Adley won his 6th invitational of the season, while Latrobe junior Natalie Bower captured her third straight Tri-States. Video interviews with both chams. Oct 13: Three videos, including the post- Manhattan interviews with Central Cambria's Carly Seymour, who set the 2.5 mile Van Cortlandt Park record of 13:56; her coach, Randy Wilson; and North Penn coach Ron Jaros after his boys' team ran the best team average of the day, 12:57.1, which happens to be the 2nd best of all time. Oct 6: There is something different this year about Vince McNally. He's hungrier than ever. Most of last year's U.S. champs are in college. But Coatesville is still Coatesville. Winners. (Posted Wednesday AM. Coming Thurs: McNally's plan). If running is mental, then confidence is currency. Just ask Heather Giovagnoli. Sept 29: Ignore North Penn at your own risk this year. A track power excels at cross, too. And it's good to get your #1 runners back. Just ask Unionville & Cardinal O'Hara. Sept 22: Holy Ghost Prep is a very small AAA school. And Central Cambria, Lewisburg and North East are AA. All four are using the pack to attack their large school competition, and winning. Plus, North East coach Ted Miller is going for his ninth state tltle. Sept 15: Carly Seymour is more fit, more rested and more confident than last year when she was 9th at Foot Lockers. But her team is right with her with big goals. Germantown Friends made some noise on the national scene with a near upset of the U.S. #1 team. They are both little schools with some big talent. Sept 8: Kara Millhouse breakthrough – Cumberland Valley is back – Chanelle Price uses cross for the 800 (but she has goals this season too) – Podcast interview with Vince McNally. Sept 1: Baldwin distance stars David Adley and T.J. Hobart – Meghan Lutz of Nazareth Academy – Mark Dennin of Boyertown.

 In AA, Central Cambria has some quality freshmen joining a Carly Seymour- led team that has major experience. Seymour took 2nd in 2006 to returning Kacey Gibson of Neshannock, but then went on to earn all-American at Foot Lockers. In AAA, Emmaus returns the top six from their 2006 runner-up squad, and have their eyes on some big goals. And defending champ Neely Spence of Shippensburg, who joined Seymour in San Diego for Foot Lockers, also earning all-American status, is back, and a clear favorite.

The annual war between St. Basil and Gwynedd-Mercy showed it\'s going to be close again at the District 1 AA meet. This time, St. Basil came out on top by 12, 32 to 44 behind the 3rd place finish of Christina Morelli in 18:48. Holy Ghost Prep placed four in the top eight to edge Jenkintown by two, 31 to 33.

There were puddles, muddy hillsides, falling runners, and finally... a flat track with some traction to welcome the soaked runners from their 3 mile trek over the William Tennent HS campus. The rain and conditions didn\'t slow Liz Costello or Tom Mooney as much as you\'d think...

The defending champs from 2004 -- St. Basil Academy for the team, and Rachel Erny for the individual title, will have strong challenges before they successfully repeat in 2005.

If Nicole Smith is the star of many events, her understudy is Erin Hannon of Bradford. And don\'t get used to the high 60\'s in the shot put. It\'s rare, and so is this athlete, Ryan Whiting.
