There's little Noah Affolder hasn't accomplished in his senior high school season. But how about a win at a major meet overseas to cap off a prep career in cross country?
Affolder was chosen to represent Team USA at the Great Edinburgh Cross Country International Challenge, held Saturday in Great Britain, racing in the Junior Boys' 6K race. The Carlisle senior made the most of it, winning in a time of 19:29 over some talented international talent and a number of talented American juniors.
Affolder won Pennsylvania state championship in early November and placed sixth at the December 10 Foot Locker Nationals after winning the Foot Locker Northeast Regional. The Syracuse recruit was disappointed after his finish at Foot Lockers, so this will surely serve as nice redemption.
