Clarion traveled north Saturday to race many of the top teams in District 9 including Elk County Catholic, Smethport, Kane, Bradford  and 13 other teams!

The Bobcats didn’t disappoint, they had four medalist on the day; Katie Craig, Nathaniel Lerch, Nick Schill and Daniel Ketner.  All top 7 runners were sub 20 minutes and top 5 finishers Fankie Weber and Noah Schill narrowly missed medaling.

The Bobcats finished fourth of 18 teams and have the opportunity to be in the running to take both a boys team to states as well as qualifying Katie Craig for her third straight trip to Hershey!
