Bulldog Invitational-Northern Lehigh 2006

Comments like \"state champions\" and \"best Lehigh Valley team ever\" buzzed through the stands of Northern Lehigh High School on Saturday. It was because the Emmaus High Green Hornets had just stung their competition in the girls varsity race of the 13th Annual Bulldog Invitational. But that wasn\'t the only reason why this team was causing such a stir. (Melissa Meade (l) and Lindsey Graybill both qualified for states as freshmen in 2005 - photo by PennTrackXC.com)
