This Past weekend was the state championships for the athletes that compete in the PIAA which is most of the state. With that being so we will only be nominating 3 on each side being the winners of the A AA and AAA races.
This Weeks Boys Candidates:
(Listed in a random order)
Michael Fritz (Northwest Area 04) - Michael won the A boys race at the PIAA State Championships with an insane time of 15:59 on the very hilly Hershey course. Fritz won by 6 seconds over some very steep competition in the single A race.
Jonah Montagnese (Quaker Valley 07) - Jonah was the heavy favorite going into the AA race at states this past weekend and he won the race by 10 seconds with an FAT time of 16:00 over the very dangerous AA field. Montagnese was trailing with 1k to go in the race to Tyce Shaner and ultimately walked him down to win his first XC state title.
Travis Furmanski (Cedar Crest 03) - Travis was not in the talks to come out with a state title going into the race and was ultimately an underdog. He came out with the fastest time of the day running 15:34 on the insanely hard Hershey course to win his first state title. Furmanski won by 5 seconds over a very deep AAA field with the defending state champ and state runner up in the race.
