At the WPIAL Girls Cross Country Championships at Coopers Lake Campground, there was a brand new champ in AAA. Oakland Catholic’s Lauren Finikiotis is a first ever champ for the Eagles. In AA, Knoch’s Mandi Moxie won gold Vincentian Academy’s Marianne Abdalah won for a third straight year.

All of this came on a course that was surprisingly dry after rains from the day before. It was the wind that had more of an effect on the runners all day.
