There is going to be a changing of the guard this season in the PCL girls picture. Three-time league champ Amy Kelly, St. Hubert's, has moved on to college. There will be plenty of good runners to choose from as her heir.
The individual favorite would likely be Kate Kelly of Cardinal O'Hara. She was 2nd in 2003. Another runner to watch is Kelli Fierras of Archbishop Prendergast. She finished 5th last year in her first year of cross country.
In the team race, St. Hubert's returns five from the top 15 while Cardinal O'Hara has a great incoming freshman class, loaded with talent. This group includes Kate Kelly's sister, Beth, along with the coach's daughter, Kate McShay. Archbishop Prendergast and Archbishop Carroll will also be a factor as the championship races near.
