Chambersburg 18, Mifflin County 42: Of the first six runners to cross the finish line, five were Trojans, and that led to a Mid Penn Commonwealth victory over the Huskies in a home meet Tuesday.

“Our time splits are getting smaller, which will be necessary for the postseason,” Chambersburg coach Chris Monheim said. “We were able to experiment a little bit with some of the varsity runners and hopefully that will pay off in a big meet this weekend at Big Spring.”

Camryn Kiser led the way with a time of 20:37 and the runner-up was Madelyn Koons in 21:09. The rest of the five scorers were Lexi Boyd (4th, 21:50), Abi Bricker (5th, 22:11) and Fernanda Orihuela (6th, 22:16).

BOYS CROSS COUNTRY
Chambersburg 18, Mifflin County 41: The Trojans put seven of the first 10 runners across the line in a Mid Penn Commonwealth meet at home vs. the Huskies on Tuesday afternoon.

Ari Snyder continued his strong leadership for Chambersburg (2-1, 2-1 MPC) by taking first place  by 33 seconds ahead of teammate Kaden Rife. Snyder finished in 17:45 and Rife hit the line at 18:18. The Trojans’ Aden Alleman was right behind in third at 18:25.

“Our top three guys had a plan to run with their No. 1 for the first two miles and then take off,” Chambersburg coach john Ambrosio said. “And that’s what they did, and it clinched the win. Our younger guys ran well and we’re getting stronger at No. 5, which is the key to the season.”
