DISTRICT ONE AAA GIRLS TEAM PREVIEW by Bill Coren (Strath Haven)
DISTRICT ONE AAA GIRLS TEAM TITLE WIDE OPEN!!!!!???
Senior Katie Kelly of O\'hara may become the only girl in the 30+ years of the meet to win 3 DELCO XC Individual Titles. She won as a freshman and a junior and was 2nd as a sophomore. As for the TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP---O\'HARA is clearly the favorite!!
The Boys Team race favorite is O\'Hara, with Upper Darby and Bonner in the hunt. The #1 individual favorite is Greg Thomas (11) OH who was 3rd last year. Strath Haven sophomore Rob Speare is unbeaten in the Central League and has an outside shot. Kyle Keehn(12) of Ridley finished 7th last year. The Girls Team race appears to be among four teams--O\'Hara (champ in 2001 and 2002) Prendergast, (champ in 2000) Strath Haven and Radnor (champ in 2003). The fight for the individual crown should be outstanding, as it appears that any of ten girls could win it.
