Gettsyburg Invitational
Do not adjust your browser. Those really are two freshmen running with Ryan Blood - PA Indoor 3000 Champ & top returning PA underclassman from Northeast Foot Locker - at the 9/7 Gettysburg Inv. Manheim Township's Craig Miller (#317) would finish 1st in 15:58, while bro Brad, would get 4th in 16:17. Blood 2nd in 16:01. Blood said he was "pleased with his race because I was faster this year than last at the same meet." However, Blood had no advance warning that these two would be that good. Blood was gapped on the final turn toward home. "I just didn't have it." In the girls' race, Lampeter-Strasburg senior Emily Kruger pulled away from Cedar Cliff's Janelle Young and Western Allegheny star Christine Taranto just past the mile to win in 18:37.61. Taranto said she took the summer off after a grueling junior year, and just started training August 12. Hempfield's boys took Cedar Cliff by 11 points, while the Cumberland Valley girls defeated Lampeter-Strasburg by 18.
