The Vikettes qualified two individuals for states: Megan Kinsella and Brianna Sweeney. The girls ran a tough race and finished 14-15 in a Girls AAA that featured nationally ranked Emmaus, super Liberty frosh Jess Cygan, and world-class caliber 800m runner Channelle Price.

All the Vikettes ran excellent races, with sophomore Elisa Hachey at 20:25, frosh Kelsy Pecka at 20:39 and frosh Meghan McFaddenat 20:47 Megan and Brianna will train to run as individuals at the state race. If they run as pair as they did at the District race, they'll do quite well at States.
