This Week's Nominees:

Luke Bradbury, State College 06 (Pennsylvania): First place out of 216 finishers was the result at the 20th PIAA Foundation XC Invitational, where a 5K clocking of 15:10.20 provided a 28.9-second cushion over the rest of the field. The mark stands as the fastest in MileSplit's database at Big Spring HS XC since 2002 among 4,933 athletes, and the fastest senior among 1,780 senior athletes there in that span. It also improved on a prior mark on this course by 36.9 seconds, from 15:47.13 down to 15:10.20.

Kam Skelton, Mercyhurst Preparatory 10 (Pennsylvania): A 5K time of 15:37.90 at the Midwest Catholic XC Championships - HS Entry Only was good for the win by 29.4 seconds across a field of 401 finishers. The time now ranks No. 14 of 9,245 athletes in MileSplit's database at Elvin R King Cross Country Course since 2007, and No. 10 among 3,537 senior athletes there. It also marked a 47.0-second improvement on a prior mark on this course, down from 16:24.90.

Zachary Sharara, Sewickley Academy (Pennsylvania): A 15:51.90 clocking in the 5K at the 20th PIAA Foundation XC Invitational was enough to win the 168-runner field outright, with a 24.3-second cushion separating first from second. That effort now sits at No. 23 of 4,933 athletes in MileSplit's database at Big Spring HS XC since 2002, and No. 8 among 1,885 junior athletes on this course.

Wyatt LaGasse, Central Bucks West 01 (Pennsylvania): An 8.1-second margin settled the Whippets XC Invitational, where a 5K time of 15:54.20 led a 274-runner field to the finish for first place. That effort sits No. 24 of 2,575 athletes in MileSplit's database at Downingtown West HS since 2021, and No. 7 among 973 junior athletes recorded there in that span.

Damian Manavi, La Salle College 12 (Pennsylvania): Among 225 finishers at the 20th PIAA Foundation XC Invitational, a 16:39.70 5K clocking held off the field by 5.7 seconds for the win. The time ranks No. 222 of 4,933 athletes in MileSplit's database at Big Spring HS XC since 2002, but climbs to No. 6 among 1,574 freshman athletes on that course in the same span.
