Boys

The independent division had five sub 16 minute runners, but none of those five came away with the Independent school state title, as Sam Ritz of Germantown Academy broke through after a pair of silver medal finishes to win the title. Defending champion Jaxson Hoey was out injured. Billy McDevitt of Malvern Prep, Nick Dahl of Germantown Friends and Gabriel Allgayer of Mercersburg Academy finished in the top five. Indy #8 Josh Hoey earned the silver medal in the race to record the best finish of his career.
