GIRLS
There's been little stopping North Penn this season. They won at Abington, were second at Briarwood, and winners at Six Flags. They'll be out-of-state again this weekend, traveling to the First State per usual for the Salesianum Invite. They look like strong favorites to pull out the win in the girls' championship race.
Speaking of favorites to win, Ariana Gardizy will be on the hunt for win #3 of the season. She was denied that third win last week by a New Jersey frosh, but she's shown her consistency time in and time out this season and Saturday should be no different. Look for teammates Olivia Dyer and Mikaela Vlasic to be up there in the overall as well.

BOYS
The Baldwin boys were winners at Uniontown last weekend and they'll look to follow up that performance with another win on the east in the varsity large school's race. They have the individual favorite in Casey Conboy, who was second last week at AJ Everhart in a sub-16 time. He looks to just be heating up now. He'll get a challenge from Penncrest's Avery Lederer in that race. Lederer, too, went sub-16 at his home invite last week in a solo effort. The two should push each other this time around.
In the varsity small schools' race we'll see the well-traveled Holy Ghost Prep boys. They were fourth last week at Hershey and their squad, led by Callahan Lennon, will look to take down the field in the small schools' race.
