District 11 Boys Preview: Lapsansky looks for win! Parkland go for team title. Li defends Class A!

Class AAA

Parkland won the Eastern PA conference last week and the trend has been that the winner of that meet wins the district meet a week later. They should record a sub 60 second spread with Hailemichael Geiger leading the way. Easton, last year's champions, will have Kevin Lapsansky lead the way. Lapsansky won the Eastern PA Conference meet last week and will aim to keep the individual title in Easton's camp while leading his team to a return to states. Emmaus and Freedom will look to upset Parkland or Easton for a state berth, while Dan Quigley and Will Aplaugh of Freedom, and Parkland's Dan Kyvelos will look for top five finishes.

Notre Dame Green Pond were solid at the Colonial League Championships last week and will be big favorites to take home the district title. They have the ability to put together a 1-5 spread between 30 and 40 seconds. They will be led by Anthony Paccoli and John Koons up front. North Schuylkill won their league title last week as well and will be one of several teams vying for the 2nd state qualifying spot. Allentown Central Catholic, Tamaqua, and Lehighton will also be in the fight for a state berth.

Individually, Joe Espinal of Wilson will battle with Dylan Bucior of Jim Thorpe for the individual gold medal. Bucior has three wins on the season.
