@ReeseAnders17 was surprised by the @wpial7 Class AA girls results, as were many others (myself included). The Riverside freshman turned back all challengers, including a pair of 2025 champs, claiming the final race of the day in a lifetime best 18:22.4. @PennTrackXC

Working hard to stay in front throughout the Class A girls 5k, Currence Bigham of @wt_bears kicked to win the @wpial7 title in 19:17.6. @PennTrackXC
