Briarwood Invitational 2012

Start to finish win for Methacton junior Kara Steinke in Briarwood Championship race.

Shearn outleaned Henderson junior Tony Russell, Henderson, both credited with a time of 15:41.40.

Cardinal O'Hara is aiming for their first state title, and their win at Briarwood in the Championship flight is one step on the road.

Tony Russell was caught at the line by Brendan Shearn, both times in 15:41.40 - among the top five times at Belmont Plateau.

  Lots of action this weekend!

Probably the best way to capture the career of Pennsbury senior Sara Sargent is to point out that she has won at least one state championship in her first three years of high school. Got that? Freshman. Sophomore. Junior. Check them off. In 2009, she won the state AAA cross country title. Later that month, she was 8th in the Northeast at the Foot Locker Regional, and then was 21st in nationals, just 10 seconds out of all-American. As a sophomore, she was diagnosed with mono just two weeks after the state XC championships. She bounced back and captured the PTFCA Indoor 3000 meter title. Oh, we missed the 3200 meter PIAA AAA title as a freshman. Then, as a junior, she was the PIAA AAA 1600 meter champ in a PR of 4:51.04. Throw in some all-states, Millrose Games and US Open Miles, and appearances in the Penn Relays Mile and 3000, and other state medals, and you have an awesome career. And just this past November 3rd, she led her team to their 3rd consecutive AAA State XC Title. Sit back and enjoy her senior campaign.
