The Fox Chapel Area boys cross country team captured its fourth consecutive section title on Wednesday at Northmoreland Park.
“We had a goal to go out and get five in that top group, and we did that,” Fox Chapel Area coach Tom Moul said of the Class 3A Section 4 championship. “I was happy with the way they competed, with the way they prepared and how they raced. There was great competition, as we expected, and the teams are so well-coached. I was proud of what the guys did today.”
Junior Rowan Gwin has a knack for running well on the Northmoreland Course. The individual boys champion at the Kiski Invitational did it again and captured the section title in a time of 16:53.9.
Gwin’s Foxes teammate, sophomore Ethan Vaughan, took third overall for the second year in a row.
Fox Chapel Area’s girls cross country team finished second in Class 3A Section 4, behind Kiski Area.
Clara Kelley, a junior, placed fourth for the Foxes for the second year in a row, and freshman Marin Airik rounded out the top five with a time of 21:12.4.
